Track Insight / Lyrics
Coiled beneath a faded sign, peeling paint on rusty steel
I'm the lone sentinel of a
station where hearts once skipped and veered
Now the only rhythm's in my head, as I wait for another call
Will I ever catch a glimpse of her again, or just these empty walls?
Oh, could you hear the symphony, of a city's restless hum?
Forgotten love notes carrying secrets, a lullaby to unspun
If only these old tracks could lead, straight to where she's made her nest
But time just shuffles us along, until we find our final rest
So I shine my lantern high and low, a beacon 'neath the night
A serenade for anyone, who might hear and ignite
The fire that's smoldering low, in these weary joints and bones
Maybe in another life, we would've had our ending moans
Ghosts of whispers echo through, the depot's hollow space
Of lovers lying in the grass, their future faces bright with faith
Now the only shadows cast are
mine beneath the hemp rope awning
As I scrape the embers down, to smoldering, glowing embers spanning
Oh, could you hear the symphony, of a city's restless hum?
Forgotten love notes carrying secrets, a lullaby to unspun
If only these old tracks could lead
straight to where she's made her nest
But time just shuffles us along, until we find our final rest
So I shine my lantern high
and low a beacon 'neath the night
A serenade for anyone, who might hear and ignite
The fire that's smoldering low, in these weary joints and bones
Maybe in another life, we would've had our ending moans
The night air's crisp with summer's scent, of honeysuckle kissed by dew
A melancholy harmony, echoing all that could be true
The rhythm of the tracks, a lonely bass, a heartbeat faltering fast
Wistful sighs turned into song, for the one that wouldn't last
In the quiet of this lonely space, I'll whisper her sweet name
As the moonout cast its spectral glow, on the forgotten, haunted game
If only for a fleeting moment, her smile would chase my pain
But the rhythm of the rails, is more than I could ever sustain
So I shine my lantern high
and low a beacon 'neath the night
A serenade for anyone, who might hear and ignite
The fire that's smoldering low, in these weary joints and bones
Maybe in another life, we would've had our ending moans
The engine's distant rumble, fades like a ghost train's call
Leaving only the night's hush, and the glow of my final fall
Into the darkness, I'll go, with just this tune as my guide
Until the stars converge again, and another ride's ride
