Track Insight / Lyrics

Brass case warms on cold stone rail Second hand ticks a trapped whale's tale Paris exhales chimney trails Zinc roofs wear a dusk grey veil Watch hums low beneath the terrace floor Time holds its breath at forty-four No gulls cry here no foghorn's roar Just gears that turn behind a door Copper hands sweep past engraved names Sailors logged in salt and flames Keeper's log marks arriving frames Lens still turns though he remains Watch hums low beneath the terrace floor Time holds its breath at forty-four No gulls cry here no foghorn's roar Just gears that turn behind a door Wine glass rings on wrought iron table Couple argues voice unstable Watch keeps time while myths and fable Drift like smoke from Gauloises cable No tide charts here no storm glass rising Just arrondissement bells compromising Spring unwinds the mainspring singing Paris sleeps while gears keep spinning Dawn bleeds pink on Sacré-Cœur dome Watch ticks on in plated home Keeper's ghost combs through the foam Light still sweeps though he has gone Watch hums low beneath the terrace floor Time holds its breath at forty-four No gulls cry here no foghorn's roar Just gears that turn behind a door Tourists climb the winding stair Watch rests in a velvet square No salt air here no gulls to scare Just Paris time and Paris air Watch hums low beneath the terrace floor Time holds its breath at forty-four No gulls cry here no foghorn's roar Just gears that turn behind a door Brass grows cold on the stone Time ticks on all alone Brass grows cold on the stone
