Track Insight / Lyrics
Horsehair sweeps the bridle grain clean
Wax tin glints where lanterns lean
Meter ticks on cobblestone street
Night fare pays for worn boot feet
Bridge sighs heavy, cables sing
River keeps its own time ring
Cobbler works till morning light
Leather holds the road just right
Leather Bridge, standing tall
Watching waters, hearing calls
Brush and wax and steady hand
Hold the line on shifting sand
Leather Bridge, leather bridge
Rain slicks the girder, cold and gray
Brush don't stop, it knows the way
Sole stitch tight, thread don't lie
River runs but bridge stands high
Bridge sighs heavy, cables sing
River keeps its own time ring
Cobbler works till morning light
Leather holds the road just right
Leather Bridge, standing tall
Watching waters, hearing calls
Brush and wax and steady hand
Hold the line on shifting sand
Leather Bridge, leather bridge
Dawn breaks pale on rusted rail
Night shift ends, the fares prevail
Cobbler packs his tin and tools
Bridge keeps watch by its own rules
Fifty years of soles and rain
Every scratch tells where you've been
Taxi meter, cobbler's knife
Both cut deep the thread of life
Leather Bridge, standing tall
Watching waters, hearing calls
Brush and wax and steady hand
Hold the line on shifting sand
Leather Bridge, leather bridge
New brush comes with stiffer hair
Old one rests on windowsill there
River still runs, bridge still stands
Leather holds in calloused hands
Leather Bridge, standing tall
Watching waters, hearing calls
Brush and wax and steady hand
Hold the line on shifting sand
Leather Bridge, leather bridge
Horsehair rests, the work is done
Bridge outlasts the rising sun
