Track Insight / Lyrics

I carried wool from western plains Now rust eats deep my iron veins Salt air bites each bolt and plate Dusk paints shadows on my freight Hammond moans through Leslie spin Muted horns blow thick and thin Slide guitar cries slow and deep While this harbor falls to sleep Iron drift on Sydney harbor Dusk descends like heavy armor Steel and water side by side Nowhere left for us to hide Crane lights sweep the turning tide Container stacks stand tall and wide I remember loaded grain trains Rolling out through summer rains Organ swells through rotary spin Brass breathes thick and warm and thin Hollowbody sings low and deep While the harbor falls to sleep Iron drift on Sydney harbor Dusk descends like heavy armor Steel and water side by side Nowhere left for us to hide Taxi wisdom in my frame Every fare leaves behind a name Meter runs on borrowed time Harbor dusk becomes my rhyme Leslie speaker spins the air Slide guitar cries raw and bare Bass line walks the wooden deck No more fares to haul or check Silence hums in steel and salt Two quiet strangers halt by halt Iron drift on Sydney harbor Dusk descends like heavy armor Steel and water side by side Nowhere left for us to hide Stars come out on Circular Quay Ferry horns blow end of day My wheels lock on the siding track No more forward no more back Iron drift on Sydney harbor Dusk descends like heavy armor Steel and water side by side Nowhere left for us to hide Tender intimacy we find Two quiet strangers aligned Harbor keeps my iron soul Drift forever make me whole
