Coffee steam climbs slow and high
Neon sign paints bridge and sky
Grease pops in the pan nearby
Misty water drifting by
Bell rings loud for table three
Hash browns crisp for you and me
Neon on the water shining
Tracing girders silver lining
Two strangers sit without a sound
Best connection in this town
Neon on the water glowing
Shows the path where we are going
Eggs flip on the blackened steel
Bacon cracks a morning meal
Neon kisses cold black rail
Strangers share a coffee tale
Forks clink soft on plastic trays
Quiet nods to start the day
Neon on the water shining
Tracing girders silver lining
Two strangers sit without a sound
Best connection in this town
Neon on the water glowing
Shows the path where we are going
She stirs sugar he reads news
Bridge lights paint their quiet blues
Spoon scrapes bowl on ceramic white
Neon bathes the misty night
He smiles faint she looks away
Neon holds the light of day
Neon on the water shining
Tracing girders silver lining
Two strangers sit without a sound
Best connection in this town
Neon on the water glowing
Shows the path where we are going
Shift ends slow the sky turns gray
Neon fades with coming day
Bridge stands strong through mist and rain
Light returns to shine again
Wipe the grill and lock the door
Neon waits on river shore
Neon on the water shining
Tracing girders silver lining
Two strangers sit without a sound
Best connection in this town
Neon on the water glowing
Shows the path where we are going
