Track Insight / Lyrics
You come in off the highway, dark of eye and lone
From cities afar, with secrets unspoken
A whispered tale or two, of love left to roam
You hadn't time to unpack, 'fore the dawn would break
Now the clock hand moves to quarter past five
Morning light painting scenes left alive
Would you stay, to see the day's first light
Or hit the road once more, and into night?
Oh, lost watch, keeping time 'til dawn
Neon puddles shining, secrets yawn
You slip away, to secrets untold
Echoes of stories, growing old
The night air's crisp and cold, as I watch you leave
The ghost of your departure, like smoke on the breeze
In the pump's reflection, a fleeting lifeline shows
Of the stories you hold, in your memories' glow
Now the clock hand moves to quarter past five
Morning light painting scenes left alive
Would you stay, to see the day's first light
Or hit the road once more, and into night?
Oh, lost watch, keeping time 'til dawn
Neon puddles shining, secrets yawn
You slip away, to secrets untold
Echoes of stories, growing old
In this brief interlude, our stories entwined
Welcomed, then dismissed, like shadows by design
Though strangers we remain, I'll hold you in my sight
A moment's solace, in the dark of night
Oh, lost watch, keeping time 'til the day breaks through
Sealing the night's confessions, before truth
You slip away, to the open road ahead
And I remain, where secrets are left unsaid
The morning rush arrives, with a hum and a blur
Memories of the night, slipping like the hour
Into legend and lore, our crossing paths fade away
But in my lost watch, your story will always stay.
