Track Insight / Lyrics
Recording tape's impermanence
Voice of youth on wistful spin,
Summer nights beneath my windowsill,
Telephone pole sways, shadows dance still
A forgotten era slips,
Memory's fading plastic grip,
Phantom melodies caress,
Echoes fade in twilight's dress
Tracks fade to black and grey
As time plays on in decay
A gramophone's lonesome sigh
In twilight's silence passes by
Rust and dust, a relic stays
Of laughter, confessions, false ways,
Wind whispers through the overgrown
Gravel driveway where we once were grown
A forgotten era slips,
Memory's fading plastic grip,
Phantom melodies caress,
Echoes fade in twilight's dress
Tracks fade to black and grey
As time plays on in decay
A gramophone's lonesome sigh
In twilight's silence passes by
Time stands still in ghosts of sound,
When life and love and loss resound,
In wax and wire, we're undone,
Forever lost in melody's song
Tracks fade to black and grey
As time plays on in decay
A gramophone's lonesome sigh
In twilight's silence passes by
Last notes whisper to the night,
Fading tracks, a phantom light,
In darkness, echoes take flight,
Until dawn, we're lost in quiet.
