Track Insight / Lyrics
Remember the ocean, the salt on my skin
The ships and the sirens, the journey within
Now the rhythm's different, a train's steady beat
Pullin' and hollerin', beneath the streetlights' heat
Coffee's bitter, the diner's dim
Faces familiar, a silent, shared hymn
We talk of the weather, the jobs and the days
The stories unspoken, in these tired, worn ways
Rail yard blues, got me singin' the same
Melody of memories, a whispered, lonely name
The tracks stretch forever, a ribbon of steel
Holdin' the ghosts of dreams, that I can't make real
Freight cars rumble, carryin' tales untold
Of places I've seen, and memories I hold
Each whistle a message, a mournful refrain
Echoin' the longing, that courses through my vein
Rail yard blues, got me singin' the same
Melody of memories, a whispered, lonely name
The tracks stretch forever, a ribbon of steel
Holdin' the ghosts of dreams, that I can't make real
The fog rolls in thicker, swallowin' the light
A veil on the world, hidin' from plain sight
But the moon still watches, with a silver gleam
Reflectin' the sorrow, within this fading dream
Another night passes, another shift done
The city's asleep, the moon has begun
To paint the rooftops, in shades of grey
And I'm still here listenin', for the dawn's first ray
Hopin' for somethin', beyond this tired scene
A beacon of hope, to make my soul keen
To mend the broken parts, and set my spirit free
To find a new anchor, beneath the open sea
Rail yard blues, got me singin' the same
Melody of memories, a whispered, lonely name
The tracks stretch forever, a ribbon of steel
Holdin' the ghosts of dreams, that I can't make real
