Track Insight / Lyrics
You watch the dock from rusted steel
The ferry's gone, the water's still
Your paint peels off in curling strips
The morning bites your metal lips
Coffee steam rises from the grill
The regulars eat their fill
You stand there frozen in the cold
A story that is never told
Freight car waiting at the dawn
The ferry's gone, the ferry's gone
Iron shell in morning light
Warming up the cold night
The short-order jokes don't reach this high
Where gulls scream low across the sky
Your wheels are locked, your brakes are seized
By decades that the salt has teased
Bacon sizzles on the flat-top steel
The truckers drink their bitter meal
You hold the weight of empty tracks
No whistle blows, no engine cracks
Freight car waiting at the dawn
The ferry's gone, the ferry's gone
Iron shell in morning light
Warming up the cold night
The cook flips eggs with practiced wrist
You're not a place that can be missed
Just cargo ghost on concrete bones
Where only wind and weather roam
Freight car waiting at the dawn
The ferry's gone, the ferry's gone
Iron shell in morning light
Warming up the cold night
The sun climbs up, the shadows shrink
You're just a place to sit and think
But no one sits, no one arrives
Just rust and light that survives
Freight car waiting at the dawn
The ferry's gone, the ferry's gone
Iron shell in morning light
Warming up the cold night
You watch the dock, you watch the dawn
Steel holds the heat the night left behind
The ferry's gone, but you remain
