Iron Worker's Song

from Coping Systems by Buffalo Buffalo

/

lyrics

I can’t lay down to rest
until I’ve broken down the piles
left of iron at the factory
and walk home through the snow
for so long

There my young son waits for me
by the fireplace cracklin’, sucking heat
from the farthest rooms where his mother
never sleeps.

Snapped bones pile up
in the middle of the columns
there inside the construction site.
Some strange and some I’ve known
for so long

I walk a mile high
with a safety line
It keeps slipping further up,
up my spine.
