Track Insight / Lyrics

Salt wind tears the map corners Gull cries match the printed borders Pine needles catch the grid design Sap drips on the thin blue line Paper tracks don't know the tide Paper tracks don't turn aside Nineteen eighty-two still rides Through the pines where shadow hides Lamp oil smells like diesel smoke Map shows stops that never came Keeper watches makes no joke Forest keeps the old rail name Paper tracks don't know the tide Paper tracks don't turn aside Nineteen eighty-two still rides Through the pines where shadow hides Resonator slides on brass strings Harmonica blows salt and pine Organ swells where map still sings Groove cuts deep on borrowed time Telephone poles lean toward the sea Wires carry no train sound Map stays folded wild and free Roots grow deep in paper ground Kerosene flame still burns at night Map glows faint in lantern light No subway comes no train in sight Just pines and poles in pale daylight Paper tracks don't know the tide Paper tracks don't turn aside Nineteen eighty-two still rides Through the pines where shadow hides Eighty-two ink won't wash away Salt air eats the metal signs Map stays put decides to stay Pine roots hold the colored lines Paper tracks don't know the tide Paper tracks don't turn aside Nineteen eighty-two still rides Through the pines where shadow hides Paper tracks don't know the tide Keeper watches map abides Salt wind turns the pages slow Paper tracks know where to go
