Lavender Redemption

[Intro]
[Verse]
Mason jar full of silver coins
Where the lonely and the weary join
Lavender mist in the midnight air
Static electricity in my hair
Folding up the heavy flannel blue
Knowing that the rent is overdue
Thinking 'bout the girl I used to know
Watching how the soapy bubbles go
[Verse]
Stranger leaning on the dryer bank
Telling me who he has to thank
He lost a job but he found a dog
Walking through the early morning fog
We swap a story for a dryer sheet
Watching angels tumble at our feet
Crumpled white wings in the metal drum
Waiting for the kingdom come to come
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a late night tent revival
Folding socks for our own survival
Fluorescent light is a holy glow
Watch the soapy water start to flow
Yeah, we’re clean
If you know what I mean
Just a little bit of grace
In this neon-lit place
[Post-Chorus]
(Choir: Clean, so clean)
Washing away the grit and the grime
(Choir: Time, just time)
Taking it one quarter at a time
[Verse]
The lint trap catches every ghost
Of the things that we loved the most
A stray black sock on the folding table
Stay as long as you are able
I leave it there like a breadcrumb trail
For the broken and the slightly frail
Redemption comes in a plastic jug
Wrapped in a warm and static hug
[Bridge]
The hum of the motor is a choir song
Singing to the ones who don't belong
(Voice crack) I miss her voice in the hallway light
But the rhythm of the rinse feels right
Flicker goes the bulb above the sink
Give me a moment just to think
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a late night tent revival
Folding socks for our own survival
Fluorescent light is a holy glow
Watch the soapy water start to flow
Yeah, we’re clean
If you know what I mean
Just a little bit of grace
In this neon-lit place
[Hook]
Stack them high
Watch the minutes fly by
Stack them neat
Feel the dryer heat
[Post-Chorus]
(Choir: Spin it around)
Let the heavy burden hit the ground
(Choir: Wash it away)
Wait until the breaking of the day
(Choir: Lavender soul)
Make the broken spirit feel whole
(Choir: One more load)
Walking down this gravel road
(Choir: So clean)
You know what I mean
(Choir: So clean)
In the washing machine
(Choir: So clean)
Like a prayer unseen
(Choir: So clean)
Keep the laundry green
[Outro]
