Tram Depot Sweeper, Sparks and Dust
by Moth Static
“Sweeping up sparks and dust after the last tram, and nobody watching. I loved the idea of someone doing quiet work in the dark.”

Lyrics
The trams are sleeping in a row Their windows dark and low I push my broom along the floor Past every silent door Sweep it slow, sweep it slow Let the dust go where it goes Sleep, old trams, sleep I'm right here, I'm right here Sweep it slow, sweep it slow A little light above the track Hums softly at my back The wheels are cooling in the night Each one still and quiet Sweep it slow, sweep it slow Let the dust go where it goes Sleep, old trams, sleep I'm right here, I'm right here Sweep it slow, sweep it slow Morning will come rolling in With bells and every din But now there's only broom and floor And the night is ours Sweep it slow, sweep it slow Let the dust go where it goes Sleep, old trams, sleep I'm right here, I'm right here Sweep it slow, sweep it slow Sleep, old trams, sleep I'm right here
