Track Insight / Lyrics
You lean the frame against the pine
Where salty water meets the line
The chrome is pitted, dull and grey
A ghost of some forgotten day
Humming low beneath the pier
The heavy mist is drawing near
Pedal fast and feel the roll
Steel and salt to save your soul
The chain is rusted, tight and lean
The oldest bike I've ever seen
You grip the rubber, feel the shake
A sudden jump, a sudden break
Humming low beneath the pier
The heavy mist is drawing near
Pedal fast and feel the roll
Steel and salt to save your soul
The fog is thick like woolly wool
The tide is pushing with a pull
You leave the boardwalk far behind
With only iron on your mind
Humming low beneath the pier
The heavy mist is drawing near
Pedal fast and feel the roll
Steel and salt to save your soul
The lighthouse beam is out of sight
You ride alone into the night
No steady lamp to guide the way
Just cold wind blowing through the bay
The wheels are spinning, humming deep
While all the sleeping cities sleep
You chase the edge of sandy ground
Until the midnight bell shall sound
Humming low beneath the pier
The heavy mist is drawing near
Pedal fast and feel the roll
Steel and salt to save your soul
Roll on, roll on.
Steel and salt.
Just keep rolling.
