Track Insight / Lyrics
Dust motes dance in fading light,
A silver shroud descends tonight.
Stone skin chills, a whispered plea,
I watch the city breathe with me.
I'm the cable strung, a fragile line,
Between the peak and salt-laced brine.
Each passing bus, a blurry streak,
Lost faces pressed against the leak.
Sea mist rolling, soft and slow,
Over Table Mountain, watch it go.
Cape Town dreaming, gray and blue,
I hold the view, just for you.
I'm the lens, a darkened eye,
Catching moments drifting by.
A runaway's grin, a fleeting trace,
Lost in time and empty space.
Sea mist rolling, soft and slow,
Over Table Mountain, watch it go.
Cape Town dreaming, gray and blue,
I hold the view, just for you.
I'm the pavement, cracked and worn,
Where stories bloom and hopes are born.
A cardboard sign, a whispered call,
Watching empires rise and fall.
Sea mist rolling, soft and slow,
Over Table Mountain, watch it go.
Cape Town dreaming, gray and blue,
I hold the view, just for you.
The clouds descend, a swirling grace,
Washing worries from this place.
A silent comfort, cool and deep,
Secrets that the mountains keep.
I'm the echo in a canyoned street,
The rhythm of hurried, passing feet.
A lonely saxophone's refrain,
Washing through the falling rain.
Sea mist rolling, soft and slow,
Over Table Mountain, watch it go.
Cape Town dreaming, gray and blue,
I hold the view, just for you.
I'm the window, streaked with dew,
Reflecting skies of endless hue.
A fragile frame, a fleeting gleam,
Lost within a waking dream.
Sea mist rolling, soft and slow,
Over Table Mountain, watch it grow.
Cape Town dreaming, strong and true,
I share the view, with me and you.
Silver fades, the light grows dim,
A whispered hush, a fragile hymn.
The mountain sleeps, the city sighs,
Beneath the mist-filled, velvet skies.
