Track Insight / Lyrics
Streetlights bleed on slick black tar
Another night, another passing car
Empty highway, a silver stream
Lost in motion, a waking dream
Rain-streaked windows, a blurry view
Faces flicker, passing through
I watch them go, each one a tale
Another journey, beyond the veil
Overpass ghosts in the headlight's grace
Silent stories on every face
I keep the watch, a steady hand
Guardian of this lonely land
Headlights cut through the misty gray
Years unfold, then slip away
Same chipped paint, the concrete cold
Stories whispered, never told
Overpass ghosts in the headlight's grace
Silent stories on every face
I keep the watch, a steady hand
Guardian of this lonely land
The radio hums a fading song
Wishing someone would stay along
But the highway calls, a restless plea
And they're chasing what they long to be
Overpass ghosts in the headlight's grace
Silent stories on every face
I keep the watch, a steady hand
Guardian of this lonely land
A flash of chrome, a weary sigh
Another soul just drifting by
Each passing light, a whispered name
Lost in the rhythm of the rain
The ocean breathes a salty air
A silent witness, beyond compare
This lonely tower, my steadfast keep
Watching over those who sleep
And when the dawn begins to break
A quiet promise I remake
To hold the stories, safe and sound
Till another journey comes around
Overpass ghosts in the headlight's grace
Silent stories on every face
I keep the watch, a steady hand
Guardian of this lonely land
Silver stream, flowing free
Just the highway and me.
Empty roads, and falling rain
Overpass ghosts, again and again.
