Track Insight / Lyrics
Four a.m., ferry docks shiver
Rain glistens buckled pavement, neon lamps quiver
Abandoned pier stretches into the mist
Forgotten steps, crisscrossed with frost
Moonlit waves lap, hollow sighs
Solitary figure in a long coat strides
Neon flicker, lonely heartbeat
In the city's empty, soulless heat
Neon flicker, lovers, strangers too
Finding solace in the neon hue
Passing police cars, red and blue
Glimpses of blue light, cold and new
In the distance, a lone saxophone's moan
Echoes off the water, lost and alone
Whispers on the wind, a half-forgotten tune
As the lonely figure, lost and cold, moves on
Neon flicker, lonely heartbeat
In the city's empty, soulless heat
Neon flicker, lovers, strangers too
Finding solace in the neon hue
Rustling newspaper, café trash can
Coffee cups and lipstick, love's been and gone
Nightwatchman's boots, echoing repeat
Signs creak, lights hum, police sirens beat
Neon lights blink, the city's pulse heart
In the gray dawn's chill, setting apart
Neon flicker, lonely heartbeat
In the city's empty, soulless heat
Neon flicker, lovers, strangers too
Finding solace in the neon hue
The piano tuner's case, battered and worn
A fragment of music, a world forlorn
Middle fingers practiced, each key pressed just so
Hoping to harmonize the discord, set it right
But the notes sing off, the strings detune
A symphony of loneliness, the city's moan
Neon flicker, ethereal melody
Haunting the docks, an anthem of misery
Neon flicker, a lonely outcast
Seeking solace in the neon's vast
Rain ceases, neon lights fade low
First light peeks over the city row
As day arrives to wash away the night
The portrait of solitude shrinks from sight
