Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Rain streaks the leaded glass October shadows pass Amber oils in a flask A quiet, holy task I trace the maple grain Through the cooling rain [Verse] Spinet clicks a steady beat Fog rolls down the street Harp strings soft and sweet Where the wood and resin meet I feel the spirit stir In a soft, mahogany blur [Pre-Chorus] Water-stained notes on the stand Held by a ghost’s hand Ink fading into gray From a long-forgotten day [Chorus] Oh, the varnish glows Everything the spruce wood knows Every secret, every sigh Underneath an autumn sky Polish away the years And the dried-up tears [Post-Chorus] Keep the song alive Let the craft survive In the quiet light Through the coming night [Verse] Beneath the scroll, a name Carved in a candle flame Letters small and shy Under a luthier's eye Did he love her then? With a steady, ink-dipped pen? [Chorus] Oh, the varnish glows Everything the spruce wood knows Every secret, every sigh Underneath an autumn sky Polish away the years And the dried-up tears [Bridge] Distant church bells chime Markers of lost time Bass clarinet breathes low Moving careful, moving slow Classical strings begin to weep While the city falls asleep [Hook] Hold the bow Let it go Soft and low In the glow [Chorus] Oh, the varnish glows Everything the spruce wood knows Every secret, every sigh Underneath an autumn sky Polish away the years And the dried-up tears [Outro]
