Track Insight / Lyrics
I am the steel on the ground,
Waiting for a heavy sound.
He walks the line in the grey,
Watching the light fade away.
Cold iron, silver rail,
A lonely ghost on a trail.
Cold iron, silver rail,
A heavy heart, a broken veil.
His boots are worn and they leak,
The winter wind makes him weak.
He talks to me like a friend,
Waiting for the night to end.
The fog is thick as a wall,
He stumbles once, then he falls.
He tells me things he can't keep,
While the tired city sleeps.
Cold iron, silver rail,
A lonely ghost on a trail.
Cold iron, silver rail,
A heavy heart, a broken veil.
The diesel smoke fills the air,
A single man in despair.
He grips my spine for a hold,
In a midnight damp and cold.
He laughs a low, jagged sound,
Pinned to the frozen ground.
He says the tracks lead to home,
While he wanders all alone.
Cold iron, silver rail,
A lonely ghost on a trail.
Cold iron, silver rail,
A heavy heart, a broken veil.
Ride the rail, ride the rail.
Just a ghost on a trail.
