Pale wings flutter stuck in the frame
Attic window calls no name
Morning sun paints dust in gold
Stories the meter never told
Fare paid in silence fare paid in time
You read the streets like rhythm and rhyme
Pale wings morning caught in the glow
Attic window knows what you know
Sun hits the glass and the wings shine through
Every fare a story every story true
Pale wings morning caught in the glow
Attic window knows what you know
Passenger sleeps in the back seat deep
Dreams of a promise dreams to keep
Moth beats slow against the pane
Sun don't judge sun don't explain
You shift the gear you ease the clutch
Morning traffic don't amount to much
Pale wings morning caught in the glow
Attic window knows what you know
Sun hits the glass and the wings shine through
Every fare a story every story true
Pale wings morning caught in the glow
Attic window knows what you know
Radio plays some old soul tune
Bass line walking beneath the moon
Faded now but the groove stays tight
Like headlights cutting through the night
Wings catch fire in the dawn's first blaze
Another day another maze
Pale wings morning caught in the glow
Attic window knows what you know
Sun hits the glass and the wings shine through
Every fare a story every story true
Pale wings morning caught in the glow
Attic window knows what you know
Dispatcher crackles static and code
You navigate the heavy load
Moth breaks free rides the thermal rise
Truth revealed in compound eyes
No receipt for the miles you've known
Just the road and the rising sun
Steering wheel worn smooth by years
Counting joys counting tears
Moth dances high above the street
Gravity lost in golden heat
You tip your hat to the morning sky
Another day another ride
Attic window frames the scene
Pale wings gone where they've never been
Cab pulls away from the quiet curb
Engine purrs a low reserve
Sun climbs higher paints the town
Wheels keep turning wheels spin round
Pale wings morning caught in the glow
Attic window knows what you know
Sun hits the glass and the wings shine through
Every fare a story every story true
Pale wings morning caught in the glow
Attic window knows what you know
Pale wings morning caught in the glow
Attic window knows what you know
Moth rides light you ride the road
Morning sun carries every load
