Track Insight / Lyrics
Steel legs climb to kiss the gray,
A silent watch at end of day.
Rust whispers tales the wind has spun,
Beneath a lilac-painted sun.
Old man Hemlock, he swears it sighs,
When trains roll past with mournful cries.
Says every bolt holds a memory tight,
Of lovers' promises in fading light.
The town sleeps on, a blurry dream,
Lost in the river's silver gleam.
But up above, a lonely grace,
A metal giant in this quiet place.
Lilac static in the air,
A painted promise, beyond compare.
Tower standing, strong and true,
Watching over me and you.
Mrs. Gable, she paints it gold,
Each autumn evening, brave and bold.
A beacon shining, soft and low,
For travelers lost, where shadows grow.
The town sleeps on, a blurry dream,
Lost in the river's silver gleam.
But up above, a lonely grace,
A metal giant in this quiet place.
Lilac static in the air,
A painted promise, beyond compare.
Tower standing, strong and true,
Watching over me and you.
Young Timmy carved a hopeful name,
Into the steel, a burning flame.
A secret wish, a whispered plea,
For someone special to set him free.
The storm rolled in, a furious fight,
Lightning cracked with all its might.
But still it stood, a steadfast friend,
Until the darkness reached its end.
Lilac static in the air,
A painted promise, beyond compare.
Tower standing, strong and true,
Watching over me and you.
Now coffee's cold, the night grows late,
Another story, sealed by fate.
The water tower, a watchful eye,
Beneath the endless, lilac sky.
Lilac static in the air,
A painted promise, beyond compare.
Tower standing, strong and true,
Watching over me and you.
Rust and steel and fading hue,
Lilac static, me and you.
Silent witness, strong and free, For all eternity.
