Track Insight / Lyrics

You watch the freight car catch first light Rusted steel wears gold before the night Cobblestones hold yesterday's cold heat No cups clink yet on narrow street Dawn paints the oxide bright and sweet This is Rome before the cafes wake Where freight cars glow for heaven's sake You stand alone in amber dust Before the city demands your trust Your choir breath remembers Latin mass But here the rails sing low and brass The Wurlitzer hums in some back room A bass line walks through ancient gloom You hum the descant off-beat true This is Rome before the cafes wake Where freight cars glow for heaven's sake You stand alone in amber dust Before the city demands your trust The Hofner thumps a root note deep While guitar skanks on off-beat sweep Your alto voice finds cracks in stone Where holy light was never shown You sing the psalm you've always known This is Rome before the cafes wake Where freight cars glow for heaven's sake You stand alone in amber dust Before the city demands your trust The shutters bang the first spoon stirs The square wakes up to clinking words But you still see the freight car shine A rusted hymn a moment divine You carry light across the line This is Rome before the cafes wake Where freight cars glow for heaven's sake You stand alone in amber dust Before the city demands your trust Light stays on the rusted side You walk away but nothing dies
