Track Insight / Lyrics
Cables singing in the breeze
Poles like sentinels of pine
I'm the solitary one
Among the quietly dreamin'
As the livid lines converge
I recite a lonely hymn
Following the thin blue lines
Where the forest meets the sky
My thoughts translate to the signs
Of life passing me on by
Edges of the woodland slope
Meeting telephone wires' sway
I cast my line and watch it hop
Across the reverberating day
Following the thin blue lines
Where the forest meets the sky
My thoughts translate to the signs
Of life passing me on by
Fraying threads of fiesta night
Cords of laughter, music's throng
But here, I fish in solitude's light
As the landscape's rhythm keeps me strong
Beneath the swaying power lines
I hear the pulse of distant drums
Echoes rise from hidden vines
As I yearn for life's more rambunctious hums
Following the thin blue lines
Where the forest meets the sky
My thoughts translate to the signs
Of life passing me on by
Perhaps, if I'm lucky, I'll feel the spark
When the wires hum and whine their part
Of secret messages, ancient and grand
Between the dots of hand-etched land
Following the thin blue lines
Where the forest meets the sky
My thoughts translate to the signs
Of life passing me on by
Cables singing in the breeze
Poles like sentinels of pine.
