Track Insight / Lyrics
In the yard of a forgotten past
Behind the shop, where dreams would last
He sits, a guardian of worn-out tales
Patient, like a worn-out sail
Whipping together the thread of time
Weaving what's left, rhyme by rhyme
Moonlight silver, casting long shadows deep
Where all that's faded still can sleep
He watches over, a silent, worn soul
Keeping memories whole
Oh, the stories that his hands can tell
Of the beauty that once dwelled
In every note, every line, every kiss
The echoes pass, the moments miss
Life like a tapestry, so delicate, so fine
Threads of love and loss intertwined
Every moment, a brushstroke in the night
Illumined by the moon's pale light
The tales of joy, of love, of strife
Etched in the leather, his life
Moonlight silver, casting long shadows deep
Where all that's faded still can sleep
He watches over, a silent, worn soul
Keeping memories whole
Oh, the stories that his hands can tell
Of the beauty that once dwelled
In every note, every line, every kiss
The echoes pass, the moments miss
In the still of dawn, when all is hushed
He'll put away the tools, his work all rushed
The emptiness will be replaced by sleep
As he dreams of yarns he'll forever keep
Oh, the stories that his hands can tell
Of the beauty that once dwelled
In every note, every line, every kiss
The echoes pass, the moments miss
And when moonlight fades, and shadows grow long
The cobbler's tales remain, his heart still strong
Whipstitch midnight, threads of time unfold
In the leather, his stories remain told.
