Track Insight / Lyrics
In the city's gray dawn light
Rain pattering on the glass
I park my chair just right
To keep the vigil across
The hum of washers, dryers buzzing
In this temple of the cloth
The neon "Open" buzzes
Like a beacon in the gloom
This laundromat's my stage tonight
Where the city's secrets hide and meet
In the spinning drums and hiss of steam
We're all just threads the universe weaves
Oh, 24 hours, 7 days a week
Neon puddles shine like work week's seen
Here I sit, where lives intertwine
In cycles of the wash and rewind
A mother's joy, a lover's strife
Are washed in cycles of their life
Lone souls beeline to this refuge
Seeking solace in the rumbling engine
Midnight hearts beating, stories told
In this spun of threads so old
This laundromat's my stage tonight
Where the city's secrets hide and meet
In the spinning drums and hiss of steam
We're all just threads the universe weaves
Oh, 24 hours, 7 days a week
Neon puddles shine like work week's seen
Here I sit, where lives intertwine
In cycles of the wash and rewind
Through rain and night, the lights stay on
Here weary souls spill out of the dawn
Each story just another framed thread
In the grand tapestry of life we're fed
In the spaces 'twixt the machines and thought
We dream of love, of hope, of what's sought
Oh, 24 hours, 7 days a week
Neon puddles shine like work week's seen
Here I sit, where lives intertwine
In cycles of the wash and rewind
The rain abates, the lights dim low
A lone dryer hums its final go
As dawn breaks through the cloudy sheet
My watch ended, stories to keep
