Track Insight / Lyrics
Rail yard fog, wet pavement sheen
Neon signs hum, steel towers gleam
I stand alone, watching the night
As copper weathervane slowly rusts out of sight
Ferrous flakes whirl, lifted on zephyrs' sighs
In the mist, tractor trailers stretch and climb the skies
My eyes on the vane, shape-shifting in haze
A pilgrim of decades, weathering the daze
Gears hum, signals chime, the yard's alive
Hues of a thousand autos splay 'cross the sky
Wraps of wire, pistons, frames all aglow
Patterns of progress, my world begins to show
Dust motes fall, fading from the lamp's pale beam
Cosmic storms died, evening's fire's all but a dream
Every speck on my skin will rust and slowly decay
I'm an echo lost amidst the iron, fading away
Train whistles howl a lament across the dark
Distant calls of love and longing never to embark
The vane slowly bends as the wind shifts its sway
Another night's chapter, another dawn on the way
Electric pulse, flicker and hum, the world's awake
Spotlights pierce the gloom, a steel canyons' expanse to make
Swirling logos, chrome and glass, a neon ballet spins
Voices, sighs, and whirring machines, my life unwinds within
Dust motes fall, fading from the lamp's pale beam
Cosmic storms died, evening's fire's all but a dream
Every speck on my skin will rust and slowly decay
I'm an echo lost amidst the iron, fading away
As dawn's first light creeps, the vane's crimson coat fades
In the mist, my story's galvanized, etched in the shades
The yard's rebirth, the world's wheel spinning round
But I remain amidst the steel, dust motes all around
Dust motes swirl, fading from the lamp's pale beam
Cosmic storms died, evening's fire's all but a dream
Every speck on my skin will rust and slowly decay
I'm an echo lost amidst the iron, eternal night
Rail yard fades, wet pavement gleams
Neon signs glow soft, steel towers beam
I breathe the mist, watching the dawn break through
As copper slowly rusts, forever poised anew.
