At its core, a folk song but.... twin guitar solos, rock rhythm style and thumping bass gives this track a tougher feel. About getting ahead of the ball, and making a new start.
lyrics
From the edge of my prized window seat
I watch the traffic flow down Chelsea street
Through the din and the roar of the crowds
Joshua’s horn blows, parting the clouds
But no one is listening, too busy you see
No one is watching, No one except for me
Their feet and spirits glued to the floor
Having heard all this nonsense before.
At sunset, we roll back the stone
No more assistance, we go in alone
Come sunrise, resurrection is complete
Emerging with wings, and back on the street
The bride throws the bouquet with a grin
Out the open window, pedals scattered in the wind
Raining down on the strangers below
Trampled underfoot unaware as they go
Chasing the ever elusive brass ring
Up, Up to the top, where money is still king
While in the corner, a lonely busker sings
For copper pennies, and whatever the future brings
Close your eyes, now what do you see?
Temptation, Reflections, maybe mercy?
Now open, and take a good look around.
Massaged by the tracks of the evening train
Struggle up the staircase, to dream again
But this place looks the same as before
A shamrock and a horseshoe nailed to the door
