Track Insight / Lyrics
Morning slips across the glass
A silver web catches the light
I pack the camera, leave the past
And chase the blue before the night
Dew weighs every strand in place
A crooked map above the grass
I hold my breath and frame the trace
Then let the engine quickly pass
A mailbox hums beneath the gray
The open road is wide today
[Pre-
One click, then two, the sky turns pink
The windshield catches every street
I chase the web across the sink
Where morning beads beneath my feet
Hold the morning, let it glow
Every silver thread will know
I came running, don't let go
Where the quiet webships grow
Hold the morning, let it glow
Every bright beginning grows
A diner sign paints circles red
A bus exhales beside the road
The spiderweb lifts from its bed
Like tiny sails begin to load
I photograph the waking town
Then chase a shadow toward the sound
[Pre-
One click, then two, the sky turns pink
The windshield catches every street
I chase the web across the sink
Where morning beads beneath my feet
Hold the morning, let it glow
Every silver thread will know
I came running, don't let go
Where the quiet webships grow
Hold the morning, let it glow
Every bright beginning grows
Rain climbs the fence in perfect rows
A yellow coat hangs from a nail
The bus conductor knows the roads
And points me toward a silver trail
I flash a card beside the glass
The ticket trembles as we pass
A motel door swings wide and blue
A cedar shakes beside the lane
The web appears in something new
A broken buckle on the train
I film the water in my hand
Then watch the sunlight cross the land
The river bends beneath the bridge
A pocket full of warm exposed
The spider waits beside the ridge
With every quiet thread composed
I send the picture down the wire
A bright small world becomes a fire
Hold the morning, hold it close
Every silver thread can throw
I came running, but I know
The road is wide, the dawn can glow
Hold the morning, hold it close
Where every bright beginning grows
Hold the morning, hold it close
Let the quiet webships go
One click, then two, the sky turns pink
The windshield catches every street
I leave the web upon the sink
And carry morning down the road
