Track Insight / Lyrics
Lonesome hound, weary eyes upon the bredths
Guardian of the rails, pricked ears, sniffing nightbreaths
Raindrops on his back, a shepherd without a flock
Waiting for the dawn, elusive cocktail
Silhouettes passing by, lost in thoughts untold
He watches, alert, as shadows take their toll
No master to obey, no pack to heed
His is a vigil solo, in the tiled and concrete creed
Nightwatch, nightwatch, steadfast and true
Pawsteps echoing, heart beating for you
Streetlamp halo, subway glow
Guarding the last train, till the dawn Jeffrows
Steel ribs of the bridge, looming above his head
Discarded newspapers, crumpled and shuffled instead
The city's pulse thrums strong, yet he stands apart
A sentinel of solitude, with a broken heart
Silhouettes passing by, lost in thoughts untold
He watches, alert, as shadows take their toll
No master to obey, no pack to heed
His is a vigil solo, in the tiled and concrete creed
Nightwatch, nightwatch, steadfast and true
Pawsteps echoing, heart beating for you
Streetlamp halo, subway glow
Guarding the last train, till the dawn Jeffrows
Perhaps someday, a hand will reach out to take his
A kindred spirit, who shares his plight and ache
Until that moment, he'll keep watch and wait
For love, for loyalty, in this urban slate
Nightwatch, nightwatch, steadfast and true
Pawsteps echoing, heart beating for you
Streetlamp halo, subway glow
Guarding the last train, till the dawn Jeffrows
The first light of dawn, a gentle prod to rise
A new day dawns, and with it goodbyes
The hound's residue, on the platform floor
Fleeting memory, of a nightwatch more
