[Intro]
Badge in the glove box, rain on the glass
No name on the message, no time to ask
[Verse 1]
I leave through the service door, coat collar high
One camera turns, I’m already by
Blue light sweeps across the marble floor
I count three steps, then I’m gone through the door
No photograph, no signature trail
A borrowed train ticket, a room with no mail
The package is small but the stakes are wide
I keep one hand free and the truth tucked inside
[Pre-Chorus]
The clock on the tower cuts the dark in two
Every route on the map leads back to you
[Chorus]
I move where the last train loses its sound
Past shuttered cafés and the river bend down
A window goes black as I cross the square
Your coded reply is waiting somewhere
I trade my reflection for one more mile
Disappear clean, but I keep your file
[Verse 2]
Black sedan idling under the plane trees
Driver says nothing, just hands me the keys
I switch off the phone, pull the battery loose
Then walk into traffic to shake the pursuit
At the old hotel, room twenty-nine
A loose floorboard hides what they came to find
I read your handwriting beneath the lamp
Then burn every page in a coffee can
Two men at the corner, one hand in a sleeve
I take the narrow alley they won’t believe
Fence on the left, locked gate on the right
I climb while the whole town is holding its breath tonight
[Chorus]
I move where the last train loses its sound
Past shuttered cafés and the river bend down
A window goes black as I cross the square
Your coded reply is waiting somewhere
I trade my reflection for one more mile
Disappear clean, but I keep your file
[Bridge]
If I reach the harbor before first light
Leave the red scarf hanging on the rail tonight
If it isn’t there, I vanish alone
No questions, no record, no way back home
[Final Chorus]
The harbor is breathing, the tide pulls steel
I hear your footsteps before they are real
A red thread turns in the salt-heavy air
I take the last passage and find you there
No cameras follow, no sirens arrive
We split at the border and stay alive
The sun finds an empty coat by the pier
But the message is safe, and the coast is clear
[Outro]
Badge in the glove box, key in the rain
No name on the message, no trace of the name
