Track Insight / Lyrics

Black iron frame on a concrete ledge Teetering right on the highway edge Silver keys frozen in a rusted row Watching the heavy diesel engines go Salt in the air and the wind is cold A story here that has never been told Ink and asphalt on a coastal ride Rolling away with the turning tide Letters are flying in a salty breeze Drifting along through the cypress trees Paper is yellow like a driver's map Caught in the middle of a midnight trap Ribbon is dry and the carriage is slow Waiting for somewhere the lonely can go Salt in the air and the wind is cold A story here that has never been told Ink and asphalt on a coastal ride Rolling away with the turning tide Letters are flying in a salty breeze Drifting along through the cypress trees Steel meets the pavement with a heavy sound Looking for truth on a piece of ground One last sentence for a ghost to read Slowing down now at a steady speed The overpass hums like a low bass string Hear how the metal and the concrete ring No one is typing and the ink is dry Under the weight of a wide open sky Ink and asphalt on a coastal ride Rolling away with the turning tide Letters are flying in a salty breeze Drifting along through the cypress trees Casing is cracked and the bell is dead Leaving the words that were better unsaid Tumbled away to the white sandy shore Closing the latch on a heavy old door Ink and asphalt on a coastal ride Rolling away with the turning tide Letters are flying in a salty breeze Drifting along through the cypress trees Just a ghost in the machine. Ride it home now.
