Track Insight / Lyrics

Coffee steam climbs vinyl booths at dawn Fog horns bleed through cracked window glass My tray holds eggs and bacon for the long Shift workers watching barges pass Harmonium drone lives in my chest I served the engineers their black coffee They riveted the girders overhead Now mist swallows every rivet clearly I sing the notes the blueprints read Bridge spans wide where river bends Altos rise where mist descends Steel and steam and hymn half-known This diner holds what I have grown Bridge spans wide where river bends Regulars know my voice by heart They hum along with spoon and cup Morning rush and lunch break never part From melodies I'm lifting up Foot tambourine taps linoleum The foreman's daughter married young She orders pie at three seventeen I sang at wedding when she was sung Now bridge holds weight I've never seen Bridge spans wide where river bends Altos rise where mist descends Steel and steam and hymn half-known This diner holds what I have grown Bridge spans wide where river bends Night crew trades their hard hats for stools Rain streaks glass in diagonal lines I refill cups by kitchen rules And harmonize with engine whines Gang vocal claps from booth three rise Bridge spans wide where river bends Altos rise where mist descends Steel and steam and hymn half-known This diner holds what I have grown Bridge spans wide where river bends Midnight brings the long-haul truckers in Diesel engines idle at the curb Their tired hands hold mugs of tin I give them verses they preserve Breath condenses on the serving curve Bridge spans wide where river bends Altos rise where mist descends Steel and steam and hymn half-known This diner holds what I have grown Bridge spans wide where river bends Dawn paints girders rose and gold again Mist lifts slow from water's skin My voice carries where steel has been The choir lives in everything within Last cup poured, the day begins Bridge spans wide where river bends Altos rise where mist descends Steel and steam and hymn half-known This diner holds what I have grown Bridge spans wide where river bends Altos rise where mist descends Steel ribs hum above the water My apron catches river breath
