This Is Joe Strummer

animal-reggae 7

Steel rails sigh under this midnight run
Cold river murmurs where the city’s begun
Small case carried with the dreams I hide
North wind cutting as I start my stride

I rise alone beneath the fading lights
Northbound heart stepping out of old nights
By the riverfront I lay down my claim
Independence calling and it shapes my name

Bridges shimmer in a hard blue glow
Ambition rising with the breeze I know
No backward glance at the darker thread
I move north where my voice runs ahead

I rise alone beneath the fading lights
Northbound heart stepping out of old nights
By the riverfront I lay down my claim
Independence calling and it shapes my name

Horn cuts clean, letting my plea break free
Street pulse echoing a path for me
I rise onward as the night grows late
Steel and steam tracing out my fate

I rise alone beneath the fading lights
Northbound heart stepping out of old nights
By the riverfront I lay down my claim
Independence calling and it shapes my name

Cold river drift, pull me toward the dawn
New stride forming, old shadow gone

I rise alone
