Cracked Shim

[Intro] [Verse 1] You climb the tower with the morning still gray A cracked shim at the anchor, a hairline in place The traffic keeps rolling, the deadline draws near You mark every measurement, keep the cable clear [Chorus] Hold that line while the road keeps moving One hand steady, one eye on the view We can mend what the rush hour is hiding Keep the bridge standing, keep the lanes through [Verse 2] The authority argues about closing a lane You answer with numbers, with the weather and rain A wrench in your glove, a plan in your head You work at the height where the cables are spread [Chorus] Hold that line while the road keeps moving One hand steady, one eye on the view We can mend what the rush hour is hiding Keep the bridge standing, keep the lanes through [Guitar solo] [Verse 3] The shim is replaced, the anchor is sound You check every bolt as the sun climbs round The first cars pass under, the towers stand tall You sign off the report, then you climb down the wall [Chorus] Hold that line while the road keeps moving One hand steady, one eye on the view We can mend what the rush hour is hiding Keep the bridge standing, keep the lanes through [Outro] Keep the bridge standing Keep the lanes through
