Track Insight / Lyrics

He rode the dunes where salt wind blows His horse died slow on rocks and shoals The lamp I kept for forty years Now watches him through salt and tears Twin suns burn on the overpass His iron rusts to morning glass No bullets left in belt or gun Just dying light on dying sun The highway hums with rubber feet He sits beneath the concrete ribs His leather cracks from desert heat No wanted poster no more fibs I trimmed the wick through gale and squall Now asphalt stretches far and wide His shadow stretches on the wall Where tide once rolled and gulls once cried Twin suns burn on the overpass His iron rusts to morning glass No bullets left in belt or gun Just dying light on dying sun The fog horn sounds but no ship comes The keeper's log is ink and dust He counts the miles on burning thumbs And wonders if the west was just The paint peels off his weathered horse A skeletal frame of steel and wire The lighthouse beam runs its slow course And finds him smoking by the fire Twin suns burn on the overpass His iron rusts to morning glass No bullets left in belt or gun Just dying light on dying sun Twin suns burn on the overpass His iron rusts to morning glass The lamp still sweeps the dark alone
