Track Insight / Lyrics
Night falls swift on Sydney's shores
Where once a day I shuffled scores
Cabbies, drunks, lovers, old and new
Their stories, lost like motes in blue
My cab stayed still as the stars appeared
Amidst wind whispers, secrets unrevealed
Moth wings frail, day's final gasp
In Carolina's lap, a gentle rasp
Amidst the dusk, I silently ponder
Each soul that scurried, never to return
Back to the city, to lives untold
Where my taxi dreams, as seasons grow old
The harbor's glow warms neon puddles
Gliding past street life, souls in huddles
Laughter, lovers, rows of coffee shops
Ghosts of memories where secrets drop
Departing trains leave seats for strangers yet
Naïve dreams and hopes that dare not met
Moth wings frail, day's final gasp
In Carolina's lap, a gentle rasp
Amidst the dusk, I silently ponder
Each soul that scurried, never to return
Back to the city, to lives untold
Where my taxi dreams, as seasons grow old
The city's heartbeat in the night's embrace
Taxi wheels rumble, a muted, heavy pace
Raindrops on the roof are winding down
As I navigate the solitary town
While lives unspooled beneath neon skies
Their fleeting moments, like moths, goodbye
In the rearview, a story unfolds
Of lives too brief, the city's hold
Each fare, a chapter, a tale untold
On these streets, hearts forever cold
In the rearview, a story fades
As the city's shadows carefully invade
Moth wings fragile, day's last sigh
Fading light, the harbor's dying cry
The city soldiers on, yet I remain
Taxi idle, watching life in vain
The night's silence holds the city's breath
Where my taxi dreams, as winter's chill seethes
Moth wings frail, day's final gasp
In Carolina's lap, a gentle rasp
Amidst the dusk, I silently ponder
Each soul that scurried, never to return
Back to the city, to lives untold
Where my taxi dreams, as seasons grow old
Night's veil lifts, first light starts to creep
The city stirs, its dreams yet asleep
My taxi waits, patiently and still
For another day, the city's endless will
Where moths emerge, day's fragile rise
As distant sirens echo, city's sighs
In the harbor, motes dance and fade
As city's pulse, my taxi's heart engages
In the eternal rhythm, night and day
A solitary witness, as the world drifts away.
