Track Insight / Lyrics
The cockpit latch is clicking
Her message light is glowing
She speaks across the evening
Of seedlings in the rain
Over runway markings
Her pulse begins counting
Track lights blur to silver
Home signs are forgotten
Fly steady, fly steady, the morning is gold
Our roots travel on wherever they go
Leave one light on, no matter the road
I am with you in each seed that you sow
Coffee cools beside her
The radio is static
Sweet darling, I can hear you
Your monstera needs sunlight
Fly steady, fly steady, the morning is gold
Our roots travel on wherever they go
Leave one light on, no matter the road
I am with you in each seed that you sow
Service cart rattles onward
Her suitcase knocks with thunder
Magnolia dust on windows
She calls the roots from under
Fly steady, fly steady, the morning is gold
Our roots travel on wherever they go
Leave one light on, no matter the road
I am with you in each seed that you sow
She presses a basil seed
Between two lines of latitude
Its green proof waits in paper
For roots inside the quiet
First light warms her fingers
Blue shadows cross the ramp
She types their secret initials
Then switches off the lamp
Fly steady, fly steady, the morning is gold
Our roots travel on wherever they go
Leave one light on, no matter the road
I am with you in each seed that you sow
Our basil points toward our window
Though miles stretch thin between us now
Leave one light on and greet the new day
I am with you in each seed that we sow
The terminal lamp is glowing
The coffee cools beside it
A paper packet carries
Her words across the distance
