Track Insight / Lyrics
Brick sidewalk's cold fusion with darkness and time
Boston's got its secrets, I've seen them in lines
The city's ancient heartbeat, a rhythm I can feel
The timeless magic hidden beneath the ordinary steel
With eyes that see through the veil, I watch time unfold
A silent guardian of the night, secrets to be told
I long to soar through the heavens, unbound and free
But streetlights keep me earthbound, a nocturnal melody
Midnight's my domain, in shadows I reside
With the barn owl's wisdom, under starlight, I glide
Through alleys and courtyards, whispers in my ear
Revelations of the city's soul, clearer when it's near
Fog rolls in like a slow curtain, envelops the old town
Gas lamps flicker, casting shadows that dance and spin around
The ghosts of centuries linger, in every brick and mortar stone
Echoes of lives unlived, of love and strife, of some unknown
With ears that hear the wind's secrets, through concrete and steel
I gather tales of the forgotten, stories to reveal
I yearn to fly where the
moonbeams reach to ride the thermal high
But duty calls me to the pavement, a nocturnal lullaby
Midnight's my domain, in shadows I reside
With the barn owl's wisdom, under starlight, I glide
Through alleys and courtyards, whispers in my ear
Revelations of the city's soul, clearer when it's near
Though darkness is my sanctuary, it isn't always my friend
The city's pulse can be a siren, luring me to its end
But the lessons of the owl remind me, to stay true to my form
And in the night's quiet whispers, find the answers I need to conform
Midnight's my domain, in shadows I reside
With the barn owl's wisdom, under starlight, I glide
Through alleys and courtyards, whispers in my ear
Revelations of the city's soul, clearer when it's near
So I'll remain on this stoop, a guardian of the night
As Boston sleeps and whispers, her ancient, hidden light
I'll listen to the city's heartbeat, in the dark, I'll find my way
A midnight owl, a silent witness, through Boston's autumn day.
