Track Insight / Lyrics
You wipe tomato pollen on your jeans
The glass exhales a heavy, wet sheen
Rusted rungs still hold the noon-time heat
Pigeons shuffle on the iron seat
Night-bloom jasmine wakes beneath your feet
Iron and ivy climb the same old wall
Summer dusk don't wait for no one's call
You tend the green, you watch the metal fade
Two worlds breathing in the shadows made
Iron and ivy, unafraid
Basil leaves release their holy scent
You hum a kyrie, half-meant, half-spent
Condensation beads on glass like prayer
Each drop a note suspended in the air
Your breath makes fog, a psalm you whisper there
Moths tap the bare bulb, frantic, gold
Your alto finds the chord the choir told
The fire escape sighs, paint peeling deep
The city hums a lullaby to sleep
Iron holds the warmth the sun used to keep
Iron and ivy climb the same old wall
Summer dusk don't wait for no one's call
You tend the green, you watch the metal fade
Two worlds breathing in the shadows made
Iron and ivy, unafraid
No organ swells, no stained-glass light
Just tomato vines and approaching night
But in the dirt beneath your bitten nails
A hymn takes root where the silence fails
You sing the alleluia that prevails
You water roots, you watch the iron turn
The choir's gone, but you have much to learn
Both growing slow where summer shadows burn
You whisper latin, wait for fruit's return
Each tomato sings a verse you discern
Iron and ivy climb the same old wall
Summer dusk don't wait for no one's call
You tend the green, you watch the metal fade
Two worlds breathing in the shade you made
Iron and ivy, unafraid
Iron and ivy, breathing slow
Summer dusk won't let you go
