Track Insight / Lyrics

Twilight paints the driveway gray Typewriter ribs caught in stone display Ribbon tangled round a jagged flint Dust settles soft on each key's imprint Cabbie parks his yellow crown Engine ticking cooling down Sees the machine where gravel bites Metal teeth in stony nights Ribbon and gravel don't belong But here they sing a dusty song Each stuck key a story left Of fares paid and miles of theft Rain slicks the ribbons black No carriage returns no going back Platen cracked from winter's kiss Typebars frozen in a fist Ribbon and gravel don't belong But here they sing a dusty song Each stuck key a story left Of fares paid and miles of theft Hammers rest on rusted springs Waiting for the dawn to bring Fingers that know the weight of words Not just the fare not just the curves Morning breaks the gravel spell Keys ring out a farewell Paper feeds through weathered steel Stories only time can heal Cabbie starts his daily round Wheels hum low on asphalt ground Leaves the typewriter to the light Ribbon and gravel holding tight Ribbon and gravel don't belong But here they sing a dusty song Each stuck key a story left Of fares paid and miles of theft Ribbon and gravel don't belong But here they sing a dusty song Each stuck key a story left Of fares paid and miles of theft Ribbon and gravel holding on Long after the fare is gone Bass rolls deep through morning streets Shadows fade on corner seats
