Track Insight / Lyrics
In '82's subway, I first laid eyes
On a '49 map, its beauty surprise
Folded and creased, lived-through and wise
Guarding the pier's lonely compromise
Every night I'd sneak its paths unseen
Following lights to a love unseen
A midnight dance through neon's sheen
Seeking shadows shared with a dream
With this map as my heart's safe guide
Through San Francisco's misty tide
I'll chase the lights that I can't hide
A nightlight nomad, side by my side
Now the piers have crumbled to dust
And the map's secrets are long brushed away
But in my dreams, our tracks persist
Through neon alleys of a forgotten mist
Every night I'd sneak its paths unseen
Following lights to a love unseen
A midnight dance through neon's sheen
Seeking shadows shared with a dream
With this map as my heart's safe guide
Through San Francisco's misty tide
I'll chase the lights that I can't hide
A nightlight nomad, side by my side
In this city of lights, I've found my way
Through the neon maze to a love's stay
Perhaps in dreams, our paths will align
Under the nightlight sky, side by mine
With this map as my heart's safe guide
Through San Francisco's misty tide
I'll chase the lights that I can't hide
A nightlight nomad, side by my side
Guarding the pier's last gentle sigh
In the neon night I'll pass me by
My heart's map, a love that won't die
Forever chasing the night's disguise
