Track Insight / Lyrics

Spring wound tight in vest pocket deep Gold case warms in dawn light sleep Hands sweep slow across ivory face Marking hours in this quiet place Zinc roofs stretch like a slate grey sea Chimney stacks stand watching me Seine reflects a broken mirror sheen Metro rumbles deep and unseen I keep the time on Paris roofs While gas lamps gutter low My spring unwinds in copper proof Tick by tick the hours go Pigeons scatter on terrace stone Cafe smoke curls up alone Waiter wipes a zinc table clean Dark coffee steam rises unseen I keep the time on Paris roofs While gas lamps gutter low My spring unwinds in copper proof Tick by tick the hours go No tide turns without my say No dawn breaks without my sway I am the gear the tooth the wheel Turning slow made of steel Evening paints the sky in bruised plum hues Window squares blink yellow views Lovers kiss on balconies high I just watch the moments fly Midnight strikes a silver bell tone City hums a low drone Spring runs down but I don't sleep Promises I swore to keep I keep the time on Paris roofs While gas lamps gutter low My spring unwinds in copper proof Tick by tick the hours go Gold hands stop on morning light Wound again for another night
