Track Insight / Lyrics

Fog rolls thick past switching yard Where brakemen hit the heavy guard Your awl rests quiet in the tin The leather drinks the oil within You buff the hide where signals fade The lantern swings on rusted blade Your cloth moves slow on worn-through toe The night knows every scar you know Rail ties drink the moisture deep Your stitches hold what time won't keep The naphtha lamp burns low and blue It paints the sole in amber hue You buff the hide where signals fade The lantern swings on rusted blade Your cloth moves slow on worn-through toe The night knows every scar you know A freighter groans on harbor wind You've mended boots where salt begins The glue pot steams beside your knee No tide can pull you from the sea You buff the hide where signals fade The lantern swings on rusted blade Your cloth moves slow on worn-through toe The night knows every scar you know The switchman's lantern swings wide arc You know each scuff each telltale mark The welt the crack the worn-through grain You coax them back to life again Salt air rusts the strongest nail But thread holds fast where iron fails You worked the light you know the cost Of guiding ships through winter frost Dawn bleeds gray across the track You pack your kit you don't look back The leather holds the night's slow cure Your hands remember steady sure You buff the hide where signals fade The lantern swings on rusted blade Your cloth moves slow on worn-through toe The night knows every scar you know The fog will lift the rails will sing Your shoes still walk where gulls take wing And every sole remembers spring
