Track Insight / Lyrics

The glass bowl trembles by the sill A small bright circle holds it still The kettle clicks, the plates are gone A child hums a fading song The room grows still beyond the hall One empty chair stands against the wall A goldfish sees the old room go Where family shadows used to grow The suitcase buckles by the door While footsteps fade across the floor One quiet lamp is burning low A goldfish circles in its glow The afternoon fades on painted glass A ribbon stirs as breezes pass An old blue mug rests by the sill A narrow beam of sunlight still The empty wardrobe hides the loss Two tired travelers pause and cross A goldfish sees the morning veil As dust turns dancing in the hall A cardboard tower starts to fall His tiny shadow climbs the wall The afternoon strips warmth from glass And passes slowly as they leave The streetlamp trembles in blue haze And moonlight settles on the glass An old brown coat is by the stair Cold coffee still lingers there The clock keeps steady, like the tide While rooms change gently, deep inside The evening lowers on the stair A paper moon is hanging there A cardboard coast waits by the door A drop of water finds the floor He watches all the stillness grow And turns toward the lamp's low glow A red sunrise crosses o'er the floor The packing tape is by the door The old address slips from sight Two tired travelers turn to light He sees them stop, then turn their heads As morning settles on his bed A goldfish sees the whole world change His circle widens, wide and strange The river's echo, far and deep Now shelters safely while they sleep Two names are carved upon the wall Love leaves a lighthouse over all
