Track Insight / Lyrics
You step out in the midnight glare.
Cold wind biting through your hair.
Check the meter, check the time.
Counting pennies, climbing prime.
Oil stains on the pavement floor.
You don't want this anymore.
Hold the metal, feel the heat.
Sensing rhythm in the street.
Silver needle, humming low.
Telling you which way to go.
Silver needle, steady hand.
Leading you to promised land.
Parking lot of humming light.
Keeping watch throughout the night.
Tired eyes and heavy gear.
The destination is near.
Oil stains on the pavement floor.
You don't want this anymore.
Hold the metal, feel the heat.
Sensing rhythm in the street.
Silver needle, humming low.
Telling you which way to go.
Silver needle, steady hand.
Leading you to promised land.
Diesel smoke and coffee black.
No more turning on the track.
Old proverbs for a broken road.
Carry on with every load.
Close your eyes and hear the spin.
Where the lonely miles begin.
Iron shaking in your grip.
Do not let the anchor slip.
Silver needle, humming low.
Telling you which way to go.
Silver needle, steady hand.
Leading you to promised land.
Silver casing, scratched and worn.
In the place where hope was born.
Follow North to find the gate.
Before it gets too dark or late.
Silver needle, humming low.
Telling you which way to go.
Silver needle, steady hand.
Leading you to promised land.
Just a needle in the dark.
Wait until you see the spark.
Find the way.
Find the way.
