Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] The shipyard gates are locked The rusted hulls are docked My whole steady world was shocked By the cradle being rocked I packed my leather boots And pulled up all my roots Searching for the fruits Of the highway's lonely routes [Pre-Chorus] Met a man in a diner Who used to be a miner He wrote a line much finer Than a silver-tongued designer He said keep your vision bright Through the middle of the night [Chorus] Catch the breath of the gale We are setting the sail Where the iron used to fail We will blaze a new trail Let the turbines turn round Rising up from the ground Hear the communal sound Of the lost being found [Break] [Verse] Two hundred miles behind With a heavy, open mind Snippets that I find Of the human, hopeful kind Walking through the dry heat Down a dusty main street With the blisters on my feet Making the journey complete [Pre-Chorus] She sang a little song About where we belong When the days are too long And the world feels so wrong We must carry the flame And remember every name [Chorus] Catch the breath of the gale We are setting the sail Where the iron used to fail We will blaze a new trail Let the turbines turn round Rising up from the ground Hear the communal sound Of the lost being found [Bridge] I see the white towers rise Beneath the coastal skies No more hollow goodbyes Or the corporate lies The banjo starts to ring As the heavy hammers swing Hear the whole choir sing Every single soul is a king [Verse] I reached the sandy bluff Where the living gets tough I have had quite enough Of the corporate stuff I pulled the papers out And I started to shout What this walk was about Killing every last doubt [Chorus] Catch the breath of the gale We are setting the sail Where the iron used to fail We will blaze a new trail Let the turbines turn round Rising up from the ground Hear the communal sound Of the lost being found [Post-Chorus] Spinning on Spinning on Until the dark is gone In the light of the dawn Spinning on Spinning on Until the dark is gone In the light of the dawn [Outro]
