Track Insight / Lyrics
Concrete pillars loom below
Forgotten trunks and mothballed clothes
I've watched all pass the same slow hours
Daydreaming of dirt roads and fields of flowers
Ghosts of dreams that never came true
Echoes of the lives the footsteps flew
Whispers of what I'll never know
Fading out like the winter's snow
Oh, the city's pulse hums to me
A constant drumbeat of destiny
My toll gate graves for every soul
That speeds through in this endless role
Nights I imagine strolling down
Glistening boulevards and neon towns
Arm in arm with someone's warm and real
But dawn arrives, and I remain concealed
Ghosts of dreams that never came true
Echoes of the lives the footsteps flew
Whispers of what I'll never know
Fading out like the winter's snow
Oh, the city's pulse hums to me
A constant drumbeat of destiny
My toll gate graves for every soul
That speeds through in this endless role
In morning's light, all is forgiven
The world outside is newly woken
I'll collect the tolls, and keep on dreaming
Of a life that I've yet to be seen
Oh, the city's pulse hums to me
A constant drumbeat of destiny
My toll gate graves for every soul
That speeds through in this endless role
Sunlight fades, the day recedes
Another night, more worlds proceed
Through my gate, endless streams of time
And I remain to keep the rhythm chime
