Fingers stitch through cable wire
Palms pressed cold on painted iron
Thumb and index search each bolt
Stories that the steel has told
Two gloves walking misty bridge
Searching where the lost ones hid
Leather creaks on frozen planks
Dreams sink deep in river banks
Two gloves walking misty bridge
Regular at counter three
Orders eggs and watches free
Says he saw them midnight pass
Gloves don't walk on broken glass
Two gloves walking misty bridge
Searching where the lost ones hid
Leather creaks on frozen planks
Dreams sink deep in river banks
Two gloves walking misty bridge
Harmonica breathes low and sweet
Pedal steel begins to weep
Upright bass walks steady line
Gloves keep searching for a sign
Two gloves walking misty bridge
Searching where the lost ones hid
Leather creaks on frozen planks
Dreams sink deep in river banks
Two gloves walking misty bridge
Cook flips hash with practiced wrist
Knows the gloves don't exist
But he sings the story true
Misty bridge and leather blue
No hands inside the gloves at all
Just wind that answers every call
River keeps what river takes
Morning light is all that breaks
Dawn burns off the misty gray
Gloves are gone with night shift pay
Counter three puts down his cup
Bridge stands empty bridges up
Two gloves walking misty bridge
Searching where the lost ones hid
Leather creaks on frozen planks
Dreams sink deep in river banks
Two gloves walking misty bridge
Two gloves walking misty bridge
Coffee cold and shift is done
Two gloves walking two gloves gone
