Track Insight / Lyrics
Fog hangs low, a milky shroud
On tracks where engines moan and crowd
Blue denim clad, a welder waits
For dawn to break, to light his gates
Flickering arc, a molten kiss
On rusted steel, he finds his bliss
In every weld, a story told
Of strength and skill, both brave and bold
Steel gaze, fixed on the wire's end
A silent vigil, that time won't mend
He watches shadows lengthen and fade
In the heart of the yard, a life unmade
Worn hands grip tools, a steady hand
He fights the silence, understands
The rhythm of steel, the fire's gleam
A timeless dance, a living dream
Steel gaze, fixed on the wire's end
A silent vigil, that time won't mend
He watches shadows lengthen and fade
In the heart of the yard, a life unmade
Steam rises, a ghostly veil
The moon descends, a spectral trail
Across the steel, a ghostly light
He stands alone, in the lonely night
The world sleeps on, unaware
He keeps the watch, his vigil fair
His heart beats strong, a steady drum
In the rhythm of the rail yard, he's home
Steel against steel, a constant grind
His spirit soars, his purpose defined
The fog lifts slow, the sun will rise
He'll be there, with knowing eyes
Steel gaze, fixed on the wire's end
A silent vigil, that time won't mend
He watches shadows lengthen and fade
In the heart of the yard, a life unmade
Piano fades, sax whispers low
Rustling leaves, a gentle flow
Steel gaze lingers, in the fading light
A solitary figure, in the morning's might
