The Silver Frame

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dust motes dance in golden light
Everything is feeling right
Pine scent drifts through open doors
Oil stains on the concrete floors
Wrench is heavy in my hand
Resting on the metal stand
Old spokes catch the morning haze
Thinking back to younger days
Silver chrome begins to shine
Tracing out a straight line
[Pre-Chorus]
Turning gears with steady rhythm
Breaking through the quiet prism
Neighborhood birds start to call
Shadows fading on the wall
I am breathing deep and slow
Letting all the sorrow go
[Chorus]
Oh, the wheels are spinning true
Just like you taught me to
Underneath the D-major sun
The healing work has just begun
Three-part echoes in the air
Knowing you are always there
Warmth is flowing through the frame
Whispering your quiet name
[Verse]
Chipped blue paint on every bar
Scars from travels near and far
Then I saw the hidden trace
Near the pedal's narrow space
Initials carved into the steel
Making every memory real
Letters cut by your own blade
Resting in the garage shade
I never saw the mark before
Leaning by the toolbox door
[Chorus]
Oh, the wheels are spinning true
Just like you taught me to
Underneath the D-major sun
The healing work has just begun
Three-part echoes in the air
Knowing you are always there
Warmth is flowing through the frame
Whispering your quiet name
[Bridge]
Hammond organ starts to swell
Stories only wood can tell
Fretless bass is humming low
Watching all the tension go
Middle-age is soft and kind
Leaving all the noise behind
Tighten up the silver chain
Washing out the winter rain
I finally find my own peace
Granting my heart sweet release
[Outro]
