Track Insight / Lyrics
Using 'scope on the roof
Darkness all around me
Nothing moves out in the orchard
No cars passing by tonight
Highway's empty, clock's ticking slow
Nights like this, my mind goes wild
Every shadow, possible foe
Watching over the winter apple fields
Headlights cutting through the snow
My heart pounding from the cold
Was that an animal or a whisper?
Friend or foe, I don't know
Highway's empty, clock's ticking slow
Nights like this, my mind goes wild
Every shadow, possible foe
Watching over the winter apple fields
Storm's coming from the northwest
Can't see five feet in front of me
I've been trapped up here, constant vigil
My thoughts drifting like the snowfall
Highway's empty, clock's ticking slow
Nights like this, my mind goes wild
Every shadow, possible foe
Watching over the winter apple fields
The world's a lonely, dark place
Out here, the driver's on edge
Every rustle, every creak
A potential threat, my life to pledge
Highway's empty, clock's ticking slow
Nights like this, my mind goes wild
Every shadow, possible foe
Watching over the winter apple fields
The storm is passing, dawn's approaching fast
The night's almost over, the light will break at last
I'll make my delivery, then I'll drive on home
But tonight, this watch is what I know.
