Track Insight / Lyrics

You wind the mainspring slow as prayer Peeling paint curls in the afternoon air Timetables tremble when the express rolls through Oil stains the cuffs of your wool serge blue Second hand sweeps the depot floor Second hand marks the hour once more Gears turn slow in the vibration Time holds breath at this station Your fingers know the weight of brass Each tooth cut clean on the dividing pass The master sleeps above the pendulum swing You count the beats that the trains bring Second hand sweeps the depot floor Second hand marks the hour once more Gears turn slow in the vibration Time holds breath at this station Hymn tunes rise in the alto throat Half-remembered from a chapel boat You sing the intervals between the ticks A sacred math that the mechanism picks Second hand sweeps the depot floor Second hand marks the hour once more Gears turn slow in the vibration Time holds breath at this station Rust blooms orange on the signal tower You measure out each quarter hour The depot shakes but the clocks stay true Your hands remember what to do Second hand sweeps the depot floor Second hand marks the hour once more Gears turn slow in the vibration Time holds breath at this station Second hand sweeps the depot floor The train passes. The clock keeps time.
