Lyrics
The five o'clock hum on the St. Claude Bridge again.
Antoine's shoes scuff the patina on the pedestrian lane.
His spine's a cantilever leaning into the wind,
a one-man parade where the 7th Ward ends.
[Chorus]
He walks the Industrial Canal seam,
a rivet-to-rivet recurring dream.
Not looking for grace, not asking for why,
just where the water holds the sky.
[Verse 2]
The air smells of chicory and summer-storm drain.
He remembers her saying, in August, "Oh, look at that crane!"
A little chip in the day he keeps turning it over,
that Tuesday she left, just before sober October.
[Chorus]
He walks the Industrial Canal seam,
a rivet-to-rivet recurring dream.
Not looking for grace, not asking for why,
just where the water holds the sky.
[Bridge]
Some folks mend with lacquer, some mend with a prayer.
He just mends with the walking and the Mississippi air.
[Chorus]
He walks the Industrial Canal seam,
a rivet-to-rivet recurring dream.
Not looking for grace, not asking for why,
just where the water holds the sky.
[Outro]
The western sun lacquers the girder in rust.
A beautiful scar. A matter of trust.
