Track Insight / Lyrics
Cocked hat, café lights
Neon reaches out next to my thighs
Icy mugs align, night shift glow
A Diptych of worlds I don't belong to
Café's warm refuge shielding my dreams
From the wilds of commuters' night schemes
Order up a cappuccino, please
Fuel for eyes on watch through sleep's release
In the light of their long shadows I stand
Watching cities awake from my distant land
I tend the tower high above the din
Guiding ships through the blackness within
Rain pounds sheets like a mantra
Tapping out verses I'd rather abandon
From my beacon I scan the twisting horizons
Seeking signs of life in the dark, baptized
Café's warm refuge shielding my dreams
From the wilds of solitary night schemes
Order up a cappuccino, please
Fuel for eyes on watch through sleep's release
In the light of their long shadows I stand
Watching cities awake from my distant land
I tend the tower high above the din
Guiding ships through the blackness within
Sleep calls in whispers, a siren's song
But my duty keeps me on and on
The lighthouse's pulse, a metronome's beat
A constant heart in the darkened street
In the light of their long shadows I stand
Watching cities awake from my distant land
I tend the tower high above the din
Guiding ships through the blackness within
The neon grid flickers, the city stirs
Café lights dim, my shift ends in blur
But the radiance of the lighthouse stays
A beacon's song through the lonely day's sway
