Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Grease stains on the ivory Shadows of my history Found it in the dark Waiting for a spark Dad’s old storefront place Time I can’t erase But the wood still feels Life beneath the wheels [Pre-Chorus] Dust motes in the beam Like a fever dream I strip the rusted wire To feed a holy fire [Chorus] One shaky chord I’m calling the Lord From the grease pit floor To the chapel door Calloused hands on keys Down upon my knees It’s a weathered soul Finally feeling whole [Verse] Wrench against the steel The only truth I feel But the B3 hums Like the gospel comes I fix the broken reed Healing every need The tenor sax stabs Through the concrete slabs [Pre-Chorus] Dust motes in the beam Like a fever dream I strip the rusted wire To feed a holy fire [Chorus] One shaky chord I’m calling the Lord From the grease pit floor To the chapel door Calloused hands on keys Down upon my knees It’s a weathered soul Finally feeling whole [Bridge] The pedal hits the floor I don't hide no more The electric piano moans Deep inside my bones Ten years of the ghost Now I’m the host [Instrumental] [Verse] Stained glass on the street Where the broken meet I play for the lost Knowing what it cost The upright bass walks While the spirit talks The brush on the drum Says the time has come [Chorus] One shaky chord I’m calling the Lord From the grease pit floor To the chapel door Calloused hands on keys Down upon my knees It’s a weathered soul Finally feeling whole [Post-Chorus] Oil and the grace In this hollow space Hear the tenor blow Let the spirit flow [Outro]
