Track Insight / Lyrics
Ink runs black on the damp white page
Like a bird in a rusted cage
Pine needles cling to my wet wool coat
While I read every handwritten note
Oh, the telephone poles stand tall
Watching every summer leaf fall
Tracing lines where the forest meets gray
I will carry the words of the day
Glassy puddles reflect the sky
Where the heavy gray storm clouds fly
Cold wind bites through the cedar tree
Bringing all of your secrets to me
Salty air meets the scent of loam
Walking far from the place called home
Steel wires hum with a steady beat
While the mud clings tight to my feet
Oh, the telephone poles stand tall
Watching every summer leaf fall
Tracing lines where the forest meets gray
I will carry the words of the day
Folded corners and smudged blue ink
Giving me a new moment to think
The heavy clouds start to break and part
Opening a door inside my heart
Copper wires hold the distance tight
Leading me to the coming light
Silver droplets on the jagged pine
Telling me that the ending is mine
Oh, the telephone poles stand tall
Watching every summer leaf fall
Tracing lines where the forest meets gray
I will carry the words of the day
Tracing lines in the gray
Carry the words of the day (Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
