Track Insight / Lyrics
Static whispers, magnetic tape sighs,
Autumn pollen drifting before my eyes.
Ferris wheel bones against a grey sky,
*Acer saccharum* remembers July.
Cracked asphalt, a kingdom decayed,
Where laughter echoed, now shadows played.
Ghostly cotton candy, a sweet, dusty haze,
Lost in the amber of bygone days.
Rusting carousel, a silent plea,
Spinning memories for just you and me.
Painted horses frozen in mid-flight,
Lost in the stillness of fading light.
The Tilt-A-Whirl sleeps, a metal embrace,
Each chipped gondola holds an empty space.
*Quercus alba* witnesses time's slow theft,
Every season, a piece left bereft.
Rusting carousel, a silent plea,
Spinning memories for just you and me.
Painted horses frozen in mid-flight,
Lost in the stillness of fading light.
The scent of pine needles, a bittersweet strain,
A phantom calliope, whispering rain.
Broken mirrors reflect a forgotten face,
Lost in this desolate, beautiful place.
Magnolia blooms falling, a slow, soft descent,
*Liriodendron tulipifera* heaven-sent.
Each fallen petal, a whispered goodbye,
To dreams we cherished beneath this pale sky.
I trace the carvings on a wooden steed,
Feel the ghost of a joy I desperately need.
This spectral garden, where wonder once grew,
A faded postcard, just for me and you.
Rusting carousel, a silent plea,
Spinning memories for just you and me.
Painted horses frozen in mid-flight,
Lost in the stillness of fading light.
The tape still turns, a fragile refrain,
A loop of longing, a comforting pain.
These brittle leaves, a story untold,
A gilded moment, more precious than gold.
Rusting carousel, a vibrant plea,
Spinning memories for eternity!
Painted horses rising in glorious flight,
Shining brightly in the fading light!
Static fades, the music is done,
But the carousel spins on and on.
A silent repeat, a whispering breeze,
Amongst the rustling autumn trees.
