I Followed Silver Footsteps Home
Past Alley Gates The Old Bank Knew
He Cut Beneath The Rusted Chain
Then Vanished Through The Waiting Rain
A Cardboard Moon Beside The Road
He Sniffed The Dark And Carried On
Run Every Shortcut Through The Night
Keep The Lost Roads In Sight
He Knows The Alleys Through And Through
I Know The Way To Circle You
We Wake The Morning Side By Side
Through Five Blue Windows Dogs Would Bark
He Slipped Between The Floodlit Dark
Across Open Gates His Paws Raced Fast
The Night Guard Smiled And Let Him Pass
Each Alley Kept His Silver Spark
He Mapped The Fences Line By Line
A Milkman's Dream, A Borrowed Sign
He Never Asked Which Turns Were Mine
He Only Pulled Me Down The Line
The Map Was Hiding In His Eyes
While Tired Feet Learned Midnight's Lies
Run Every Shortcut Through The Night
Keep The Lost Roads In Sight
He Knows The Alleys Through And Through
I Know The Way To Circle You
We Wake The Morning Side By Side
He Ran Through Hedges, Clean And Neat
And Stepped Past Signs Of Empty Seats
He Jumped The Mud Where Coaches Meet
And Curled Beneath A Warehouse Heat
Each Corner Opened To His Feet
Then Back Again On Repeat
Run Every Shortcut Through The Night
Keep The Lost Roads In Sight
He Knows The Alleys Through And Through
I Know The Way To Circle You
We Wake The Morning Side By Side
My Ankles Sting Beneath The Grass
His Little Shadow Moves Like Glass
The City Holds Its Sleeping Breath
The River Bends Around The Bridge
We Walk Until The Dark Turns Less
By Broken Wall And Riverside
We Climbed The Stones The Daylight Hid
No Map Could Teach Us Where He Went
He Knew The Path Where Fences Bent
At Dawn He Found Us Warm And Wide
Run Every Shortcut Through The Night
Keep The Lost Roads In Sight
He Knows The Alleys Through And Through
I Know The Way To Circle You
We Wake The Morning Side By Side
The Rooftops Turn Their Silver Face
He Leads Us Through A Brighter Place
His Pawprints Fade Beneath The Grass
I Hear His Harmony Last
Then Hum It Through The Empty Space
