Blue denim stained with silver sparks
Cold autumn wind hits like a mark
I hold the torch to weld the seam
The ferris wheel is just a dream
Ride the ghost train through the gray
Wait for summer's gold to stay
Iron and rust in the breeze
Falling leaves on frozen knees
I snap a shot of empty cars
Cold midnight air and distant stars
Your heavy boots click on the street
Where asphalt and the clover meet
Ride the ghost train through the gray
Wait for summer's gold to stay
Iron and rust in the breeze
Falling leaves on frozen knees
The ticket booth is locked in lime
A rusted clock that stopped in time
I feel the heat of molten lead
While you trace lines inside my head
Ride the ghost train through the gray
Wait for summer's gold to stay
Iron and rust in the breeze
Falling leaves on frozen knees
The roller coaster spine is bare
A sudden chill is in the air
One final flash of yellow light
Before we vanish in the night
Ride the ghost train through the gray
Wait for summer's gold to stay
Iron and rust in the breeze
Falling leaves on frozen knees
Iron and rust
Hold on to the rust
Just a snapshot now
Iron and rust
