[Intro]
Silent hall, clock ticks loud in the dark
A whisper of wheels, a spark in the park
[Verse 1]
In the glow of a blue desk lamp, I stand watch and doubt
Then a wrench winks its eye, says, “Friend, come check it out.”
Screwdrivers hum like bees, screws dance in a line,
A calendar of secrets rattles behind the blinds.
[Pre-Chorus]
Footsteps of metal, soft as a sigh,
They invite me to listen, let the quiet spill by.
[Chorus]
We’re not alone when the office sleeps, we come alive and keep the faith,
Tools with a heartbeat sing in chrome and grain of oak and slate.
Shared secrets in the cupboard of midnight, where whispers carve our fate,
Lonely night watchman, friend to gears, in darkness we create.
[Verse 2]
A tape measure smiles, stretches a mile of trust,
Bandages of tape and twine fix the world we must.
Pliers hold prayers, hammers tell old tales,
Together we mend the hours when daylight fails.
[Pre-Chorus]
Glow of LED constellations in a neat, neat row,
We trade the day’s regrets for the midnight glow.
[Chorus]
We’re not alone when the office sleeps, we come alive and keep the faith,
Tools with a heartbeat sing in chrome and grain of oak and slate.
Shared secrets in the cupboard of midnight, where whispers carve our fate,
Lonely night watchman, friend to gears, in darkness we create.
[Bridge]
If dawn should flood the hall with ordinary light,
We seal the pact in the drawer, till the stars reignite.
[Chorus]
We’re not alone when the office sleeps, we come alive and keep the faith,
Tools with a heartbeat sing in chrome and grain of oak and slate.
Shared secrets in the cupboard of midnight, where whispers carve our fate,
Lonely night watchman, friend to gears, in darkness we create.
[Outro]
When the hum of the morning starts to creep, I greet the sun with a quiet grin,
Knowing I’m never truly alone, not while these friends stay within.
