Track Insight / Lyrics
Freight car rests on corroded rails
Fog drinks the canals, veils the sails
Camera clicks in mittened hands
Girl captures light on iron strands
Amsterdam wakes in steel and gray
Bridge groans low where the water lay
She frames the rust, she frames the sky
Shutter sings a lullaby
Herring scent rides the frozen breeze
Tram wires hum through naked trees
Her breath clouds the viewfinder glass
Each shot a life she won't let pass
Amsterdam wakes in steel and gray
Bridge groans low where the water lay
She frames the rust, she frames the sky
Shutter sings a lullaby
Locomotive coughs, a diesel roar
Vibrates the bridge's iron core
She steadies lens on flaking paint
Time suspended, beautiful, quaint
Amsterdam wakes in steel and gray
Bridge groans low where the water lay
She frames the rust, she frames the sky
Shutter sings a lullaby
No ticket punched, no destination
Just film rolls and liberation
The bridge remembers every hand
That built it strong to span the land
Dawn bleeds gold on Herengracht
Freight car shudders, brakes intact
She pockets camera, climbs aboard
Chasing horizons, not reward
Amsterdam wakes in steel and gray
Bridge groans low where the water lay
She frames the rust, she frames the sky
Shutter sings a lullaby
Shutter sings a lullaby
Slide fades out on morning track
One more click, she don't look back
