Track Insight / Lyrics
You pour the water in the pot
The morning air is cold and hot
You feel a shiver in your shoe
A heavy sound is coming through
It is the iron hum below
A rusty rhythm, steady flow
Deep in the floor, the metal sings
The kind of song the freight car brings
The kettle screams a silver note
A salty taste inside your throat
You lean your back against the wall
And wait to hear the engine call
The tea is steeping in the cup
You watch the golden bubbles up
The floorboards shake a tiny bit
Where old and heavy metals hit
It is the iron hum below
A rusty rhythm, steady flow
Deep in the floor, the metal sings
The kind of song the freight car brings
Like a beacon in the dark
A heavy beat, a sudden spark
No more lanterns, no more glare
Just a humming in the air
You close your eyes and feel the beat
The concrete shaking near your feet
The kitchen glows in yellow light
While heavy wheels roll through the night
It is the iron hum below
A rusty rhythm, steady flow
Deep in the floor, the metal sings
The kind of song the freight car brings
Just let it roll on by.
Iron hum, iron hum. Steady now.
Keep it rolling.
