Track Insight / Lyrics

Morning lamp gets trimmed at dawn Glass reflects the steel rails on Telegraph key sticks in frost Messages get curved and lost Static on the iron wire Salt eats copper, eats the fire No ship answers, no shore replies Just fog and rust and railway ties Logbook pages yellow round Ink bleeds through the binding down Coordinates repeat the same Latitude and caller name Static on the iron wire Salt eats copper, eats the fire No ship answers, no shore replies Just fog and rust and railway ties Battery acid stains my coat Knuckles cracked from turning bolt Antenna sways in gale force wind Insulators cracked and chinned Static on the iron wire Salt eats copper, eats the fire No ship answers, no shore replies Just fog and rust and railway ties Superintendent wired west Said the line would serve the best Now the yard grows wild with weed Only rust hears what I read Lens revolves in lighthouse tower Sweeps the dark each passing hour Here the beam don't cut the grey Only dots and dashes stay Young operator took the train Left the key and took the rain I remain to wind the spring Listen for the ghost to sing Static on the iron wire Salt eats copper, eats the fire No ship answers, no shore replies Just fog and rust and railway ties Static on the iron wire Key goes silent, coil unwinds Last dot fades on breathing lines
