Track Insight / Lyrics
Through the fog, the rails groan, skeletal shadows cast long
Rails crackle, sparks like diamonds against the night
In the mist, a figure walks, denim blue, welder's gloves on right
He pauses, looks up, and I see him breathe
Midnight rail, he's on your line
Seeking a connection, a heartbeat divine
Midnight rail, he's all alone
In the dark, where love is his home
He's tracing the weld, the fire's glow
Red-hot sparks, droplets on the steel below
Beneath the brim, his eyes are bright
Searching for a rest stop in the lonely night
Midnight rail, he's on your line
Seeking a connection, a heartbeat divine
Midnight rail, he's all alone
In the dark, where love is his home
Dive through the rhythm, horns blast
Slap bass zing, groove's in fast
In the diner's neon, he finds a seat
Orders coffee and a side of heat
Tries to warm his hands, but the chill remains
Of a night too long, too far from home
Midnight rail, he's on your line
Seeking a connection, a heartbeat divine
Midnight rail, he's all alone
In the dark, where love is his home
Rain starts to fall, mist turns to drizzle
Steam rises from the cups, Long Island iced tea swizzle
He wipes his hands, stands to pay the bill
The rain clears for a moment, a glimpse of him still
Midnight rail, he's on your line
Seeking a connection, a heartbeat divine
Midnight rail, he's all alone
In the dark, where love is his home
He steps out, walks through the rain
Tracks in the oil, his denim jeans remain
Streaked with grime, a painted heart on his glove
Midnight rail, a soul in a lonely groove
