Track Insight / Lyrics
Heavy clouds break on the street
Rain is drumming on the beat
Steel keys frozen in a row
Waiting for the wind to blow
Sitting by the laundry glass
Watching all the strangers pass
White sheets spinning in a wheel
Cold as any piece of steel
Ink and iron, black and white
Waiting through the rainy night
Pressed against a window pane
Writing out the summer rain
Old ink ribbons thin and dry
Underneath a charcoal sky
Heavy water hits the road
Carrying a lonely load
Ink and iron, black and white
Waiting through the rainy night
Pressed against a window pane
Writing out the summer rain
A hand reaches down to the floor
Someone opens up the door
Warm air hits the frozen keys
Swaying like the willow trees
Rubbing rust from every gear
Something honest, something clear
Paper waiting for the ink
Standing on a steady brink
Taxi idling in the lane
Wiping off the window stain
Fare is paid and ride is gone
Waiting for the early dawn
Ink and iron, black and white
Waiting through the rainy night
Pressed against a window pane
Writing out the summer rain
Just a machine in the rain.
Ink and iron, black and white.
