Steel hull cuts through the silver gray
Painting lines on a salted bay
Heavy chains make a rhythmic sound
Where the rusted anchors are found
Iron harbor glide in the morning haze
Lost inside a chrome and velvet maze
Sailing past the yard where the engines roar
Searching for a lock and an open door
Yellow cranes lean over the track
Watching all the freight wagons come back
Oil spills make a rainbow on the floor
Washing up against a concrete shore
Fog rolls in like a heavy white sheet
Where the salt and the diesel fuel meet
Red lights blink on a lonely high rail
Tugboat drifting like a ghost on a sail
Iron harbor glide in the morning haze
Lost inside a chrome and velvet maze
Sailing past the yard where the engines roar
Searching for a lock and an open door
Check the lens and click the shutter fast
Capture how the heavy moments last
Brake the line and feel the engine shake
Watch the ripple on the oily lake
Copper wires hum a low steady beat
Tugboat cruising through the industrial heat
Steam vents hiss in a rhythmic white spray
Leading all the heavy tankers away
Iron harbor glide in the morning haze
Lost inside a chrome and velvet maze
Sailing past the yard where the engines roar
Searching for a lock and an open door
Keep it moving, keep it bright
Glide away into the light
Iron harbor glide.
