Track Insight / Lyrics
You keep the lamp, I drive the miles
Salt eats the steel, the concrete smiles
Fog rolls in off the breaking surf
Engines cough and diesels surf
Light sweeps slow, traffic flows fast
Two worlds born, never to last
You count the flashes, I count the fares
Salt and asphalt, we both wear
Your stairs wind tight, my turns wind wide
Gulls scream above the turning tide
Radio static, your horn blows deep
Promises made, promises keep
Light sweeps slow, traffic flows fast
Two worlds born, never to last
You count the flashes, I count the fares
Salt and asphalt, we both wear
Dawn cracks pale on the rusted rail
Morning commuters, the daily grail
You trim the wick, I check the gauge
Shift change comes on the turning page
Light sweeps slow, traffic flows fast
Two worlds born, never to last
You count the flashes, I count the fares
Salt and asphalt, we both wear
Storm hits hard, the span shakes hard
Your beam holds steady, my hands stay barred
We guide them home through the blind dark
Different posts, same beating heart
Light sweeps slow, traffic flows fast
Two worlds born, never to last
You count the flashes, I count the fares
Salt and asphalt, we both wear
Salt and asphalt, we both wear
Watch the beam cut through the night
Hear the tires bite the white
