Track Insight / Lyrics
Worn seams and frayed at every end
Behind the books, where knowledge never trends
A relic of a time long past due
When gentlemen's hands were soft and blue
Now dust motes dance, like tiny kings
In candlelight, where shadows bring
The memory of a life so grand
In worn gloves, on antique land
Rusty fingers, moving slow
Through yellowed pages, stories to know
Leather worn, a fading past
Echoes of greatness, forever cast
Copper hues and cracks upon the palm
From days of delivering love notes, no alarms
A glove of secrets, whispered sweet
In intimate moments, to misspeakers meet
Now dust motes dance, like tiny kings
In candlelight, where shadows bring
The memory of a life so grand
In worn gloves, on antique land
Rusty fingers, moving slow
Through yellowed pages, stories to know
Leather worn, a fading past
Echoes of greatness, forever cast
Snap crisp, slaps tight, horn stabs keen
Brasses blaring, in syncopated scheme
Midnight sparkles in the city gleam
Where fortunes rise, and fates meet extreme
Through the cracks, a glimpse of white
Of hands once dexterous, now a flicker light
In faded photographs, a smile appears
Of a life that rusted, through all its years
Rusty fingers, moving slow
Through yellowed pages, stories to know
Leather worn, a fading past
Echoes of greatness, forever cast
In the twilight, under dusty skies
The memory of their touch, the passing time
Fades to silence, as the night grows old
Leaving rust and dreams, in a story untold.
