Track Insight / Lyrics
Grey fog hides the rusted track,
Iron wheels that don't come back.
Wooden hull in salted mud,
Tide is rising like a flood.
Hold the line and keep the beat,
Where the rail and river meet.
Cedar wood and heavy steel,
Turning like a broken wheel.
I have driven every street,
Where the cold and concrete meet.
You have sailed the open blue,
Now you're anchored, something new.
Hold the line and keep the beat,
Where the rail and river meet.
Cedar wood and heavy steel,
Turning like a broken wheel.
Mist is thick upon the yard,
Keeping watch and standing guard.
Old rowboat in quiet sleep,
While the iron secrets keep.
Hold the line and keep the beat,
Where the rail and river meet.
Cedar wood and heavy steel,
Turning like a broken wheel.
Copper coins and diesel fumes,
In the city's crowded rooms.
Here the air is sharp and clean,
Softest light I've ever seen.
Low tide brings the gravel floor,
Knocking on a rusted door.
Two strangers in the morning haze,
Counting all our lonely days.
Tie the rope and lock the gate,
We can leave the heavy weight.
Let the fog wrap round the bow,
We are staying right here now.
Hold the line and keep the beat,
Where the rail and river meet.
Cedar wood and heavy steel,
Turning like a broken wheel.
Steel and cedar, drifting slow.
Watch the river, let it go.
