Track Insight / Lyrics
Curtains of rust and brick laid brick by brick
A bridge tender's quiet vigil, history in each line
He watches visitors rush'm by, so caught up in city thrills
But he knows the story in each stone, where love and dreams still fill
[Pre-
Cozy cafe lights, his midnight shift
Coffee in a mug, mind in the missing bits
Long lines of potholed sidewalk leading on
A secret symphony of all that's gone
Oh sideway serenade beneath the flickering lights
Rhythms of the past echo, memories ignite
Each worn stone holds a tale to tell tonight
In autumn's chill this bridgekeeper stands, his story in the light
Cracked concrete, iron railings worn
Etched in the stone the years have borne
Each face passes, a stranger's smile
Yet in the heart of this place, love's still pilin' up the miles
[Pre-
Cozy cafe lights, his midnight shift
Coffee in a mug, mind in the missing bits
Long lines of potholed sidewalk leading on
A secret symphony of all that's gone
Oh sidewalk serenade beneath the flickering lights
Rhythms of the past echo, memories ignite
Each worn stone holds a tale to tell tonight
In autumn's chill this bridgekeeper stands, his story in the light
Time was young and love was wild, they'd walk this strip all night
Hand in hand, stars above their heads, the world felt like it could take flight
But seasons changed, and they moved on, left the city's rhythm their own
Now he's the one who walks these lanes, with memories to atone
Oh sidewalk serenade beneath the flickering lights
Rhythms of the past echo, memories ignite
Each worn stone holds a tale to tell tonight
In autumn's chill this bridgekeeper stands, his story in the light
Acoustic guitar strum fades to black, lone footsteps echo by
