Silver spokes spin through the haze
Coins and keys in my pocket jangle
A gum wrapper folds into a crane
Wind licks my fringe like a stray dog’s tongue
Tap my heel on the pedal’s glint
Brass hums low where the shadows thin
Don’t break my heart tonight
Don’t break my heart tonight
Let the amber hold the light
Don’t break my heart tonight
Just this one slow ride
A dry leaf pinched between two fingers
A whistle waiting to be born
Don’t break my heart tonight
Don’t break my heart tonight
Let the amber hold the light
Don’t break my heart tonight
Just this one slow ride
Gravel spits under the tire’s sigh
A train horn bends the distant sky
My old coat smells of tar and thyme
(Don’t break)
Don’t break my heart tonight
Don’t break my heart tonight
Let the amber hold the light
Don’t break my heart tonight
Just this one slow ride
