Track Insight / Lyrics
Keys jangle heavy on my belt loop
October wind bites the midway ground
Ferris wheel stands like a steel steeple
Shadows stretch long without a sound
I sing the midway gospel low
Where cotton candy dust makes snow
The ferris wheel sings alto slow
A hymn only the night can know
Flashlight beam cuts the funhouse mirror
Distorted faces kneel to pray
Ticket booth dark, the glass drawn tighter
Holding the dark at arm's length, stay
I sing the midway gospel low
Where cotton candy dust makes snow
The ferris wheel sings alto slow
A hymn only the night can know
Roller coaster ribs against the grey sky
Wooden fingers clawing at the cloud
I know the drop, I know the reason why
Feet planted firm on the shaking ground
I sing the midway gospel low
Where cotton candy dust makes snow
The ferris wheel sings alto slow
A hymn only the night can know
Radio crackles a dispatcher voice
Ten-four clear, all secure, good night
I'll stay awhile, make the silence my choice
Keeper of keys, keeper of light
I sing the midway gospel low
Where cotton candy dust makes snow
The ferris wheel sings alto slow
My voice rides the undertow
Keys turn heavy in the lock
Dawn cracks open the gate
