Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] The neon light flickers low Shadows start to grow Floorboards moan like a choir Walking through the fire I see you in the corner light Waiting for a fight [Pre-Chorus] The Hammond starts to weep Secrets that I keep Rising from the deep Promises I couldn't reap [Chorus] Oh Father can you hear me now? I’m breaking every sacred vow With the whiskey and the word The loudest cry you never heard I’m kneeling on this barroom floor Don’t shut the heavy door [Hook] Lord have mercy on my soul Make this broken spirit whole Mercy on my soul Make me whole [Verse] Your hands were rough as clay You worked the life away Left me with a hollow chest Never found your rest Now I wear your old suit jacket In this lonely racket [Pre-Chorus] I feel the brass begin to moan Standing here all on my own Chilled right to the bone Flesh and blood and stone [Chorus] Oh Father can you hear me now? I’m breaking every sacred vow With the whiskey and the word The loudest cry you never heard I’m kneeling on this barroom floor Don’t shut the heavy door [Bridge] Mercy let the brass play loud Tear apart this heavy cloud I forgive the way you stayed I forgive the debts you paid Lord let the spirit rise Look me in my tired eyes [Breakdown] Slap that bass line slow Let the bitter feelings go Down where the waters flow Watch the garden grow [Chorus] Oh Father can you hear me now? I’m breaking every sacred vow With the whiskey and the word The loudest cry you never heard I’m kneeling on this barroom floor Don’t shut the heavy door [Post-Chorus] Wash away the heavy rain Break the link inside the chain Healing all the ancient pain Nothing left here to explain Lord it’s running through my vein I won't call your name in vain [Outro]
