Track Insight / Lyrics
Dust motes dance in golden rays,
Leather breathes through passing days.
Felt wheel spins a silent plea,
For stories held for you and me.
Old man Silas, hands so worn,
Polishing boots since he was born.
Each careful stroke, a steady hand,
Across the leather, grain by grain, across the land.
Polished soles on city streets,
Echoing rhythms, hurried feats.
Reflecting lights in a silver sheen,
Walking stories, a silent scene.
He sees the miles in every crease,
The journeys taken, finding peace.
A dancer's glide, a soldier's stride,
Footsteps whispered, deep inside.
Polished soles on city streets,
Echoing rhythms, hurried feats.
Reflecting lights in a silver sheen,
Walking stories, a silent scene.
The leather sighs beneath his touch,
Remembering journeys, oh so much.
A lover's walk, a child's first run,
Beneath the moonlight, 'til day is done.
Polished soles on city streets,
Echoing rhythms, hurried feats.
Reflecting lights in a silver sheen,
Walking stories, a silent scene.
Each scuff a memory, etched in time,
A worn-out map, in its prime.
He buffs away the grime and grey,
Restoring hope with each new day.
The smell of wax, a sweet perfume,
Chasing away the winter gloom.
Silas hums a forgotten tune,
Beneath the pale and waning moon.
Polished soles on city streets,
Echoing rhythms, hurried feats.
Reflecting lights in a silver sheen,
Walking stories, a vibrant scene.
Spinning, spinning, soft and slow,
Polished soles begin to glow.
Footsteps thinning into night,
Walking onward, bathed in light.
