Track Insight / Lyrics
In the quiet, after hours at the depot
Clouds of fog swirl round cafe roof tops
I sit with my thermos, engine cold and dark
The city's pulse beats through the neon murk
Mind adrift in the moment's soft hush
My thoughts like lost trains, nowhere to rush
Until her voice echoes through the night
A siren's call, a phantom's light
Midnight whispers, secrets untold
In the shadows, a story unfold
Train wheels kiss the rail yard's heart
Midnight whispers, a love so smart
From the shack beside the tracks I hear
Her voice, a frequency, pure and clear
A message in the static, code unseen
The miles between us, what can be gleaned?
Heart beating faster, in time with the sound
Her words wrap round me, a mystery unbound
Digits danced on keys, love within the lines
From her, to me, the miles dissolve in time
Midnight whispers, secrets untold
In the shadows, a story unfold
Train wheels kiss the rail yard's heart
Midnight whispers, a love so smart
The night's veil lifts, we touch on the air
Connection wired through radio's glare
Two souls entwined by circumstance and thought
Unlikely love, unforeseen, tearing fault lines
Midnight whispers, secrets untold
In the shadows, a story unfold
Train wheels kiss the rail yard's heart
Midnight whispers, a love so smart
Midnight whispers, secrets untold
In the shadows, our story's gold
Train wheels kiss the rail yard's heart
Midnight whispers, a love that never parts
(Train whistle echoes, foghorn fades)
The depot's quiet once more, a fleeting dream
But in my heart, our tale continuous beams.
