Smelter

lyrics

She won’t believe a word
If I told her I was down
Its as if she never heard
As if I never slammed the doors

Sometimes I’m shakey in the morning
Sometimes I rest a little late
Sometimes I feel surrounded
But I’m lonelier than all that empty praise

And the trains go past my head
One at six and one at ten
I smell the coal I smell the lead
I never did get used to it

My daddy worked his hands to dust
And even now I see him aching
I see the vinyl and the flowers
We lost our uncles and our pride

I never wrote so well
I never could obey the rules
And I can count the ones I lost
On all my fingers and my toes

We spent our summers drifting
Between the shipyards and the bay
We spent our money like we were desperate
We and then we worked a little more

She won’t believe a word
If I told her I was dying
And this town and I were cursed
Long before they shut the factory down
