Track Insight / Lyrics

Coffee steam rises past the cracked vinyl seat You shake the rain from wool that smells of peat The grill hums low beneath my spatula's scrape You ask for black and stare at your escape You trace the bridge where iron meets the water Your compass spins but refuses to falter The fog eats names of streets you thought you knew This city keeps the dark and gives it to you The compass glass is cracked along the rim Brass worn smooth where thumbs have pressed it dim No satellite no signal just the needle's pull You trust the metal more than screens go dull You trace the bridge where iron meets the water Your compass spins but refuses to falter The fog eats names of streets you thought you knew This city keeps the dark and gives it to you Herengracht reflects the sodium glow Houseboats rock where frozen currents flow Your boots find purchase on the icy stone The bridge groans deep beneath your weight alone The dispatcher's voice crackled static at dawn Said the package waits where the swans are gone You laughed and wiped the grease from your chin This city's maze is where you begin Wind cuts the collar of your wool coat Pigeons scatter from a gabled roof's throat The compass needle trembles finds its north You check the address tally up its worth You trace the bridge where iron meets the water Your compass spins but refuses to falter The fog eats names of streets you thought you knew This city keeps the dark and gives it to you The package sits in canvas tied with twine A name written careful in fountain pen line You hand it over fingers brushed by cold The recipient smiles a story told You trace the bridge where iron meets the water Your compass spins but refuses to falter The fog eats names of streets you thought you knew This city keeps the dark and gives it to you Steam rises coffee dark the night goes on Another courier walks into the dawn
