Bicycle at Dusk, Ticking Wheels
by Odalys Fern
“A bicycle leaning on a garden wall at dusk, wheels ticking down. Pure ambient, barely a song.”

Lyrics
The bicycle leans by the garden wall Dusk is falling, and that is all The wheels still tick as they slowly cool Like a small clock in the evening school Tick, tick, softly slow Where the evening wanders, let it go Tick, tick, the day is done Rest now, wheels, in the setting sun Violet light on the handlebar A single bell and a single star The road was long and the road was kind Leave the rest of the day behind Tick, tick, softly slow Where the evening wanders, let it go Tick, tick, the day is done Rest now, wheels, in the setting sun Tomorrow the road will call again Dust and sunshine and maybe rain But for tonight, the wheels can sleep The dusk is soft and the dusk is deep Tick, tick, softly slow Where the evening wanders, let it go Tick, tick, the day is done Rest now, wheels, in the setting sun Tick, tick Rest now
