Track Insight / Lyrics
Dust motes dance in fading light
Concrete canyons kiss the night
Steel and shadow, cool and gray
Where the wild things softly stray.
Tyto alba, silver wing,
Tracing echoes as cars sing.
Overpasses, worn and wide,
A silent hunter, watchful stride.
Coastal breezes, salt and pine,
Seeking solace, a fragile sign.
Highway ghosts are calling me,
Lost in transit, wild and free.
Underneath the concrete flow,
Where the hidden rivers go.
Shadow wings and restless dreams,
Lost reflections in moonbeams.
Imperata cylindrica sighs,
Beneath the tires, softly dies.
Cracked asphalt, a woven trace,
Of hurried journeys, lost in space.
A patient vigil, slow and deep,
Secrets that the roadways keep.
Highway ghosts are calling me,
Lost in transit, wild and free.
Underneath the concrete flow,
Where the hidden rivers go.
Shadow wings and restless dreams,
Lost reflections in moonbeams.
Quercus virginiana stands,
Weathered witness to shifting sands.
Roots like fingers, holding tight,
Through lonely days and endless night.
A grounded presence, strong and true,
Watching worlds both old and new.
Highway ghosts are calling me,
Lost in transit, wild and free.
Underneath the concrete flow,
Where the hidden rivers go.
Shadow wings and restless dreams,
Lost reflections in moonbeams.
Each passing headlight, a fleeting spark,
A whispered story in the dark.
A hollow echo, a distant plea,
For something wild, for liberty.
The wind it carries a mournful strain,
A longing heart, a sweet refrain.
Asclepias syriaca blooms,
Fragile beauty amidst the glooms.
Milkweed whispers, soft and low,
Where forgotten pathways flow.
A fleeting nectar, sweet and mild,
For weary travelers, lost and wild.
Highway ghosts are calling me,
Lost in transit, wild and free.
Underneath the concrete flow,
Where the hidden rivers go.
Shadow wings and restless dreams,
Lost reflections in moonbeams.
Silver wings fade in the haze,
Lost in the highway's winding maze.
Concrete whispers, soft and slow,
Where the highway ghosts still go.
Dust motes dance, and shadows fall,
Answering the highway's call.
