Brass tube rests on windowsill tonight Frost bites the glass obscures the light I chart the alley stone by stone This watch is mine I work alone The long glass pulls the distance near Winter breath clouds the view from here Cobblestones hold the lantern glow Only the keeper sees below You scan the gutters read the cracks Counting footsteps watching backs No ship at sea could hide so well As secrets where the cold winds dwell The long glass pulls the distance near Winter breath clouds the view from here Cobblestones hold the lantern glow Only the keeper sees below Salt rusts the lens but clears the mind No foghorn sounds just wheels that grind A cat moves silent past the gate I log the hour I log the date The long glass pulls the distance near Winter breath clouds the view from here Cobblestones hold the lantern glow Only the keeper sees below Morning comes the glass goes cold Stories bought and never sold Two voices fold into the gray Until the lamp brings back the day Shadows retreat the dark gives way I will meet you where the alley bends Where winter breaks and daylight ends Your brass eye catches every stride I wait for you on the other side The long glass pulls the distance near Winter breath clouds the view from here Cobblestones hold the lantern glow Only the keeper sees below We watch the alley dark and slow The lens caps tight the watch stands down Salt air remains on this old town Light keeps burning round and round
