Steam Lyrics - R. Ring

One year on the wire, you slipped and lost your nerve. 

Your German wife was ready to go home. 

You married words, and buried your right ring. 

You were in love, terminally. 

You and I belong somewhere long ago, 

In a city full of steam, heaving with machines. 

You live here like a ghost, I feel but never see. 

You and I belong to the steam. 

They crept down through the hills, to set up on us. 

A heavy rain to spoil this horror frost. 

We were removed by invisible hands, 

To be alone as God intended. 

You and I belong somewhere long ago, 

In a city full of steam, heaving with machines. 

You live here like a ghost, I feel but never see. 

You and I belong to the steam.
