Track Insight / Lyrics
You stand beneath the canal stone
Cold wind chills you to the bone
Winter fog hides every street
Frozen mud clings to your feet
Read the map from eighty two
Paper faded, gray and blue
Follow lines of ink and grit
Wait for all the sparks to hit
Like a seed in winter sleep
Secrets that the rootlets keep
Sputter of a distant train
Black water and salted rain
Read the map from eighty two
Paper faded, gray and blue
Follow lines of ink and grit
Wait for all the sparks to hit
Syllables of Latin names
Mossy walls and iron frames
You trace a route you cannot find
Leaving all the world behind
Read the map from eighty two
Paper faded, gray and blue
Follow lines of ink and grit
Wait for all the sparks to hit
Tender warmth in shivering hands
Strangers in these lonely lands
Patient as a slow growing vine
Crossing over every line
Steel and steam and heavy air
Dampness in your tangled hair
Breathe the scent of wet brown clay
Wait until the break of day
Saturated preamp glow
Watch the heavy river flow
Sooty brick and rusted wire
Burning with a hidden fire
Read the map from eighty two
Paper faded, gray and blue
Follow lines of ink and grit
Wait for all the sparks to hit
Sift the soil.
Read the map. (Clap, clap)
Sift the soil.
