Where the Engines Sleep

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You wear the chapel key around your throat A black iron promise, a name you never spoke The factory clocks have stopped at half past two I count the locked doors, then I count on you [Pre-Chorus] Hold still while the old walls learn our names One breath in the furnace, one hand on the chain [Chorus] Come down where the engines sleep Where the stone keeps secrets we can keep Take my hand through the rust and rain We are not leaving here the same [Verse 2] Your coat smells of dust and winter stone You left your silver ring beside the telephone A red mark blooms beneath the loading sign You say the night is yours; I say it’s mine [Pre-Chorus] Hold still while the old walls learn our names One breath in the furnace, one hand on the chain [Chorus] Come down where the engines sleep Where the stone keeps secrets we can keep Take my hand through the rust and rain We are not leaving here the same [Bridge] No bell will call us back No door will turn us round You gave me your last true word I buried it underground [Final Chorus] Come down where the engines sleep Where the stone keeps secrets we can keep Take my hand through the rust and rain We are not leaving here the same [Outro] Not the same Not the same
