Track Insight / Lyrics
Seeking refuge in the neon light
Of the motel parking lot at break of day and night
Pit stop harbor, neon creek
Waiting for the dawn's release
Steam and diesel fog my tired eyes
A tugboat moans, its lonely sighs
As I lay behind this door frame wide
Far from home, alone I reside
Longing for the morning's cry
Watching sunbeams paint the sky
Washing ash and salt from the soul
In the light of a brand new goal
Seeking refuge in the neon light
Of the motel parking lot at break of day and night
A beacon in the endless night
Reflecting all the city's plight
Neon stars in the darkened air
Guiding me through my troubled lair
Echoes in the vinyl linoleum
Where strangers come and go in their gloom
From this dingy, basic room I pay
A fleeting peace to leave my woes astray
Longing for the morning's cry
Watching sunbeams paint the sky
Washing ash and salt from the soul
In the light of a brand new goal
Seeking refuge in the neon light
Of the motel parking lot at break of day and night
Deepened, antiphonal keys weep mournfully
As the distant tugboat finally sleeps
Too tired to pull the city out of sleep
And so the neon lights begin to seep...
Seeking refuge in the neon light
Of the motel parking lot at break of day and night
In the light of a brand new day and night
Whispers fade, troubled sighs subside
As morning sun begins to glide
And in its golden wake, a new tide
Rises up to meet the dreamer inside
