Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Chipped name tag on the wood Did the best I ever could Ten long years of pouring tea Finally, I’m set free Crumpled tips inside my palm In the center of the calm Left my apron on the hook Closed that heavy dusty book [Pre-Chorus] Now the Wurlitzer starts to hum Beating like a steady drum The streetlamp has a golden glow Watching all the shadows go [Chorus] Oh, I’m walking home With a song inside my bones No more orders, no more trays Goodbye to the hollow days I can hear the melody Calling out so sweet to me It’s a quiet kind of fire Lifting me a little higher [Post-Chorus] (Higher, higher) (I’m going higher) [Verse] Light rain falling on the street Rhythm in my tired feet Telecaster in the hall Waiting for my fingers' call I used to hum between the lines Searching for the lucky signs Now the ink is in my hand Drafting out a different plan [Pre-Chorus] Hear the brass begin to swell Breaking every quiet spell The sidewalk’s slick and black as ink Gives me all the time to think [Chorus] Oh, I’m walking home With a song inside my bones No more orders, no more trays Goodbye to the hollow days I can hear the melody Calling out so sweet to me It’s a quiet kind of fire Lifting me a little higher [Bridge] I’m not running from the ghost Of the girl who served the roast Every dollar was a seed For the life I really need No more bitterness or pain Just the blessing of the rain [Hook] Write it down Sing it loud Lost the apron Found the cloud [Chorus] Oh, I’m walking home With a song inside my bones No more orders, no more trays Goodbye to the hollow days I can hear the melody Calling out so sweet to me It’s a quiet kind of fire Lifting me a little higher [Post-Chorus] (Soaring now) (I'm soaring now) (It's my time) (The silver lining) [Outro]
