Track Insight / Lyrics

Salt crust on the glass again Tide pulls heavy on the chain Truck tires groan on concrete beams Waking me from salt-wet dreams Red beam cuts the foggy air Steel arches catch the glare You keep the lantern burning bright I walk the pavement through the night Salt and steel don't ask for much Just a hand to feel the touch Light leans hard on rusted girder Warmth survives the winter murder Rain slicks the asphalt grey Dawn is still a mile away Your beam finds my wet boot toe Steady as the undertow White paint peels on iron bone Sea wind cuts me to the stone I tend the wick, you walk the beat Two ghosts where the land and water meet Salt and steel don't ask for much Just a hand to feel the touch Light leans hard on rusted girder Warmth survives the winter murder Fog horn moans a low deep note Ship lights blink on water's coat Overpass shakes with the load Your flashlight paints a copper road I know the rocks, you know the cracks We share the dark, we watch the backs No gold watch, no parade today Just the beam to guide the way Salt and steel don't ask for much Just a hand to feel the touch Light leans hard on rusted girder Warmth survives the winter murder Shift ends when the gulls cry loud Sun hits water, breaks the cloud Lamp goes out, the glass is cold Story of the night retold Salt and steel don't ask for much Just a hand to feel the touch Light leans hard on rusted girder Warmth survives the winter murder Salt and steel... just salt and steel Beam fades on the driving lane Keeper lights the wick again
