Iron & Steel Lyrics

Beautiful, deadly

All these things that you love so dearly

Sailing in water, water that beats on the wrong shore

Sailboat, follow me home

You took one turn too many wrong

I can't break your waves for you

Come on, you've got a job to do

And you're weeping to the clouds

Waiting for the rain to wash your face

White wine and turpentine's bitter taste

Nothing left to mask all your pain

A table made of iron

And hearts made of steel sit in each chair

Picking with nails at the chipped veneer

Of the clock that's been ticking time there

And you think that there's no need escaping

Whoever taught you how to breathe freely in time with your heartbeat

Rhythm walked to you out of a symphony's air

Hear that lonesome note you've sung

Still existing when you're gone

Take the path that leads you home

Don't worry

You won't be alone

When you're weeping to the clouds

Waiting for the rain to wash your face

White wine and turpentine's bitter taste

Nothing left to mask all your pain

A table made of iron

And hearts made of steel sit in each chair

Picking with nails at the chipped veneer

Of the clock that's been ticking time there

And you think that there's no need escaping

I believe in happy endings

Waiting in the very last pages

Maybe we're not rich

But we can have a lot

With what we've got

And you say that there's no need escaping

Maybe there's not
