Track Insight / Lyrics
Neon slips beneath the door
Streetlights bend across the floor
A small bowl bends the light
And the whole room turns each night
The dashboard glows like Sunday coffee
A goldfish circles in the bowl
He watches doors in miniature
As winter rattles through the hall
The wallpaper peels from town to town
A sofa crosses every wall
The windows slide without a sound
The tank stands still and sees it all
Little one, the walls are moving
Beds are sailing, windows turning
You keep swimming through the changes
Chasing rooms in small reflections
Little one, stay close, I see you
Weather changes, drivers too
Two moving men stack crate on crate
A brass clock swings from out the door
The fish turns once, then waits till late
To see which shadows cross the floor
Little one, the walls are moving
Beds are sailing, windows turning
You keep swimming through the changes
Chasing rooms in small reflections
Little one, stay close, I see you
Weather changes, drivers too
You turn the lamp from gold to blue
I see my old keys in the drawer
One glass keeps what the room withdrew
One breath can open up a door
By six the room had changed its face
The mirror leans across the wall
A bare bulb lights the empty space
And tape marks where the picture hung
The van pulls off beyond the gate
The fish turns slowly, keeping time
The kettle cools while dishes wait
Your silence settles close to mine
I lift your card beside the sink
And leave a little light behind
Little one, the walls are moving
Beds are sailing, windows turning
You keep swimming through the changes
Chasing rooms in small reflections
But rooms forget and roads divide
If this street forgets my face
Your circling water leaves a trace
I'll find you somewhere down the line
The engine idles, soft and low
The city blinks across the glass
A small gold shadow bends the light
Then winter footsteps pass us by
