Track Insight / Lyrics
Coffee black in a plastic cup
Wait for the sun to wake it up
Grease on my apron, salt on the tray
Just another long midnight stay
Old Remington by the driveway gate
Patiently sitting, happy to wait
Black iron keys in a rusted row
Watching the twilight purple glow
Ink on the gravel, a story told
Turning the silver back into gold
Hammer the page till the ribbon breaks
Give it everything, whatever it takes
Regulars coming for cherry pie
Under a heavy, bruised summer sky
Short jokes and gossip, a quick little laugh
Cutting the midnight hour in half
Ink on the gravel, a story told
Turning the silver back into gold
Hammer the page till the ribbon breaks
Give it everything, whatever it takes
Slam the carriage, feel the metal ring
Hear how the heavy copper wires sing
Race against the dawn, race against the clock
Feel the whole kitchen start to rock
Driveway stones are a jagged grey
Washing the ghost of the morning away
Type out the truth of the shift and the grind
Leaving the heavy burdens behind
Wipe down the counter, flip off the light
End of a feverish, racing night
The typewriter waits for a hand and a word
The loudest sound that I ever heard
Ink on the gravel, a story told
Turning the silver back into gold
Hammer the page till the ribbon breaks
Give it everything, whatever it takes
Just one more page.
Click-clack, we're gone.
Ink on the gravel.
