Track Insight / Lyrics

Cobblestones drink the Tiber mist Apprentice thumbs kiss cold brass wrist Master snores above the shop Pendulum swings won't ever stop Espresso steam curls round the square Vespa coughs on morning air Apron strings tie knots of grease Time keeps tide for no release He hums the tune the mainspring sings Before the cafe chairs take wings Tourist maps and waiter shouts Can't wind the hands or turn the doubts Square one beats beneath his soles Rome ticks slow on gear and cogs Church bell tolls from Trastevere Apprentice checks the crown and gear Oil slick on calloused palm Calm before the tourist storm He hums the tune the mainspring sings Before the cafe chairs take wings Tourist maps and waiter shouts Can't wind the hands or turn the doubts Square one beats beneath his soles Rome ticks slow on gear and cogs Taxi meter clicks like gears Thirty years behind the steers Know the streets know time's cruel joke Wound too tight or left in smoke Boy learns slow what masters know Spring unwinds where cobblestones go Shutter rolls on Via Pace Espresso wakes the sleeping face First tourist snaps a photo frame Apprentice hums the just the same Master wipes the sleep away Counts the beats of new day Keys turn locks on heavy door Time's a fare you can't ignore He hums the tune the mainspring sings Before the cafe chairs take wings Tourist maps and waiter shouts Can't wind the hands or turn the doubts Square one beats beneath his soles Rome ticks slow on gear and cogs Cobblestones keep the humming low Rome ticks on where gears don't show
