Track Insight / Lyrics
Rain lashes down like a million strings
Each drop hitting hard like a serenade king
Flash of blue neon, its booze and its cheer
Where heartbroken souls come to dry their tears
A lonely figure walks beneath the rain
Footsteps fade like ghosts, not a word is gained
A pocket watch beats steady, hypnotic time
Telling lies of lost love, a foolish rhyme
Tick tock, the thief of night
Slipping away, leaving it all right
Mama's words echo, a spectral sigh
Love will find you, or so she'd cry
Gilt-edged lets of cigarette smoke
Flicker and dance like the drums in a joke
A stooped figure leans, a desperate reprieve
From the storm that brings no peaceful sleep
A lonely figure walks beneath the rain
Footsteps fade like ghosts, not a word is gained
A pocket watch beats steady, hypnotic time
Telling lies of lost love, a foolish rhyme
Tick tock, the thief of night
Slipping away, leaving it all right
Mama's words echo, a spectral sigh
Love will find you, or so she'd cry
Sax and bass lines run wild and free
Uptempo groove kicks into ecstasy
Piano riffs, electric snaps abound
Music builds the pace, all worries drown
Midnight sky a graveyard of stars too bright
Wind chimes answer lightning's crackle and light
Porch creaks and groans, an orchestral tune
Footsteps quit, the watcher's dance is done
Tick tock, the thief of night
Slipping away, leaving it all right
Mama's words echo, a spectral sigh
Love will find you, or so she'd cry
Tick tock, the silver pendulum stops
Counting no more; the story's drops
In the storm, a sigh on the wind
A pocket watch, and a memory to find.
