Track Insight / Lyrics
Rain taps the tarp like meter clicks
Night shift ends at quarter six
Coat soaked through to wool and skin
Watch the puddles kiss the tin
Cab smells like exhaust and gin
This backyard holds what streets forget
Weeds grow tall where tools once met
Detective rests his badge and gun
Morning comes when night is done
Quiet wins where sirens run
Workshop door hangs crooked hinge
Rust eats steel and time don't flinch
Cat asleep on oil-stained sack
Never asks for fare or back
Purrs a rhythm, low and black
This backyard holds what streets forget
Weeds grow tall where tools once met
Detective rests his badge and gun
Morning comes when night is done
Quiet wins where sirens run
Coffee thermos, lukewarm, black
Matches what the job don't lack
Case file folded in my breast
Let the morning do the rest
Truth don't need a warrant quest
This backyard holds what streets forget
Weeds grow tall where tools once met
Detective rests his badge and gun
Morning comes when night is done
Quiet wins where sirens run
Sirens wail three blocks away
Another shift, another day
But here the rain just falls slow
No witness statements, no show
Just the drip and steady glow
This backyard holds what streets forget
Weeds grow tall where tools once met
Detective rests his badge and gun
Morning comes when night is done
Quiet wins where sirens run
Morning comes for everyone
Rain stops. Engine starts.
Key turns. Day departs.
