Track Insight / Lyrics
On forest's verdant edge I sit and stay
Telephone poles like sentinels in array
Wind whispers secrets, rustles through the pines
As I watch the world spin round in circles fine
Leaves dance, flutter by like autumn's fleeting dreams
Golden light glints on my metal, ancient seams
A beacon, steadfast, through the twilight hours
Guarding stories, tallying passing power
Rusty and worn, I keep my lonely watch
A sentinel of nature, eternal, simple, math
Watering can dreams of green and growing things
In my lines the ages flow, as seasons bring
Fare-less cabbies pass, and lovers in their prime
With love and laughter echoing, to the trees' time
Each day's unique song blends, in my rusty ears
The forest's heartbeat pulses, through my metal peers
Leaves dance, flutter by like autumn's fleeting dreams
Golden light on my back, as days' lengths shrink to themes
A beacon, steadfast, through the twilight hours
Guarding stories, tallying passing power
Rusty and worn, I keep my lonely watch
A sentinel of nature, eternal, simple, math
Watering can dreams of green and growing things
In my lines the ages flow, as seasons bring
Through frost and snow and spring's awakening
I remain, unchanging, ever-watching
As phoenix leaves take flight, rekindling green
My duty's to the cycle, till time's unseen
Final chorus, loud and clear
Rusty and worn, I'll be here
A sentinel of nature, eternal, simple, math
Watering can dreams of green and growing things
In my lines the ages flow, as seasons bring
Clank, drip, hang, sway
Sunlight fading, darkness creeping in to stay
A rusty vigil, steadfast through the years
Till the earth's own rhythms wipe away my tears.
