Track Insight / Lyrics
Salt crust on my weathered hands
Map folded where the desert stands
You ask why I left the shore
Anchor don't float no more
Iron catches pink and blue
Crossroads gas and morning dew
Two voices on the same old wire
Burning bright like signal fire
Diesel coughs and coffee's black
No gulls here, just heat haze track
You drove all night from Reno straight
I watched the beam rotate and wait
Your rig hums low, my lamp burned whale
Both keep watch on a different tale
The lens revolved, your wheels keep turn
Both of us know what distances burn
Iron catches pink and blue
Crossroads gas and morning dew
Two voices on the same old wire
Burning bright like signal fire
No foghorn here, just air brake sigh
No rocking deck, just asphalt sky
But the pull is the same, the hold is true
Anchor reflects what the light pulls through
Morning comes, the neon dies
You check your tires, I check the skies
Different posts but the same refrain
We guide the lost through wind and rain
Iron catches pink and blue
Crossroads gas and morning dew
Two voices on the same old wire
Burning bright like signal fire
Anchor light keeps burning higher
Steel shines where the pumps don't sleep
Keeper's eyes on the midnight sweep
