Track Insight / Lyrics
City sleeps in fog tonight
Orange glow on river bright
Hear the rumble, feel the beat
Steamers pass, cold to my feet
Got a watch that never stops
Counting pennies, counting drops
Each soul that crosses, pays the price
Underneath the fading lights
Tollbooth blues, got me singing low
Winter's bite, how it comes and goes
Empty streets, echoes in the air
Only shadows left to share
Couple passing in a car
Leaving town before it's far
Busker hums a mournful tune
Underneath the silver moon
Tollbooth blues, got me singing low
Winter's bite, how it comes and goes
Empty streets, echoes in the air
Only shadows left to share
Bicycle wheels on frozen ground
Hear the whispers all around
Each traveler with a tale to tell
But tonight, the stories fell
Fog hangs heavy, thick and gray Washing dreams away
Lost in silence, lost in sight
Chasing shadows through the night
Sun will rise, the fog will lift
Another day, a fresh new shift
But for now, the city sleeps
And I keep counting what it keeps.
Tollbooth blues, got me singing low
Winter's bite, how it comes and goes
Empty streets, echoes in the air
Only shadows left to share
Clank, clank, the coins they fall
One more soul, leaving it all
