Track Insight / Lyrics
Copper gauges glow amber low
Hydraulic hiss sings soft and slow
Sandia peaks wear midnight snow
Engine heart beats steady, whole
Checklist signed in ballpoint ink
Radio static starts to shrink
Horizon swallows airport blink
Two souls wake on the brink
Thruster prayer on Canyon Road
Dust settles where the tires showed
Camera clicks the heavy load
Quiet wings on desert code
Film canister rattles in coat pocket
Motel sign flickers, socket to socket
Piñon smoke curls, rocket to rocket
Shutter snaps the silent socket
Negative strips hang dry on line
Silver ghosts in sodium shine
Fingers stained with developer time
Edges blur the boundary line
Thruster prayer on Canyon Road
Dust settles where the tires showed
Camera clicks the heavy load
Quiet wings on desert code
Turbine whine fades to purr
Veranda chair holds whiskey blur
Contrail scripts the velour
No tower calls, no transfer
Altitude and adobe floor
Measure distance, nothing more
One eye skyward, one eye door
Gravity cannot keep score
Thruster prayer on Canyon Road
Dust settles where the tires showed
Camera clicks the heavy load
Quiet wings on desert code
Dawn cracks the Sangre crown
Lens cap on, the roll wound down
Logbook closed, no flight plan bound
Two coffees steam on ceramic ground
Thruster prayer on Canyon Road
Dust settles where the tires showed
Camera clicks the heavy load
Quiet wings on desert code
Thruster prayer on Canyon Road
Felt hammers strike the final chord
Santa Fe sleeps, unscored
