Track Insight / Lyrics
In the yard behind the shop
Where life used to come and stop
Just a '64 in a case of age
Now a shadow on the page
Your chain is broken, case is scratched
Heart of gold, time gone mad
In dreams you keep the rhythm of this place
While the world outside just races
Oh, the stories you could tell
Of the lovers, laughter, secrets swelled
Before the lawn grew tall and wide
And your pulse went from heartbeat to the night
Midnight Timekeeper, tell me what to do
In the silence, I'm thinking of you
When the moon casts long and blue
I'm searching for a clue
In the garage, pickings slim
Rusted tools, decaying tim
Somehow you maintained the beat
Through the noise of every step
Your gears may rust, your face worn out
But still your vigil keeps in doubt
The world's in motion, hands on the wheel
While you ticktock in the still
Oh, the stories you could tell
Of the lovers, laughter, secrets swelled
Before the lawn grew tall and wide
And your pulse went from heartbeat to the night
Midnight Timekeeper, tell me what to do
In the silence, I'm thinking of you
When the moon casts long and blue
I'm searching for a clue
Perhaps your hands now keep the pace
Of the dreams I chase in this place
And as the night air gently sighs
Perhaps our clocks entwined, high and low
Midnight Timekeeper, tell me what to do
In the silence, I'm thinking of you
When the moon casts long and blue
I'm searching for a clue
So here I'll linger in the shade
Where your pulse still echoaded
In the dark beneath the vines
With the secrets that you kept in time.
