Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Dusty light hits the floor Locking up the hardware store Found a box of rusted steel Heavy with a solid feel Scrubbing off the grease and grime Looking for a piece of time [Pre-Chorus] Then I saw the corner fold Faded ink and stories told Tucked beneath a socket set Words I haven't finished yet [Chorus] Oh, the secrets in the rust Rising from the settled dust Just a letter in a tray From a long-forgotten day We’re all building something more Behind a quiet wooden door In this town of silver bells And the stories no one tells [Verse] Signed by Jack to his Ruby girl Said she was his only world Nineteen-sixty-two in June Underneath a harvest moon Said he’d save up every dime If she’d give him all her time [Pre-Chorus] Did they make it to the coast? Is he now a quiet ghost? I hold the paper to the light Wondering if they stayed alright [Chorus] Oh, the secrets in the rust Rising from the settled dust Just a letter in a tray From a long-forgotten day We’re all building something more Behind a quiet wooden door In this town of silver bells And the stories no one tells [Bridge] Every hammer, every nail Leaves a little paper trail Life is more than iron parts It’s the beating of our hearts We just pass the tools along Singing someone else’s song [Solo] [Chorus] Oh, the secrets in the rust Rising from the settled dust Just a letter in a tray From a long-forgotten day We’re all building something more Behind a quiet wooden door In this town of silver bells And the stories no one tells [Outro]
