The Gold in the Grey

[Intro]
[Verse]
Diner apron on the hook
Give it one last look
Seven years of pouring tea
Now I’m finally feeling free
My knees are shaking on the tile
It’s been a long, long mile
[Pre-Chorus]
I see the rising sun
Knowing that we’ve won
I feel it in my heart
You finally made your art
[Chorus]
Oh, the morning light is here
Washing out every single fear
I’m holding your name in print
See the silver and the flint
You’re the artist, I’m the floor
I don’t need to work no more
[Post-Chorus]
Crying these happy tears
For all those seven years
I’m holding on to gold
Watching your life unfold
Everything is burning bright
In this golden morning light
[Verse]
Charcoal dust on the shelf
I kept it to myself
Every dollar that I saved
Every lonely road I paved
Your sketches on the fridge
Built us a golden bridge
[Pre-Chorus]
I see the rising sun
Knowing that we’ve won
I feel it in my heart
You finally made your art
[Chorus]
Oh, the morning light is here
Washing out every single fear
I’m holding your name in print
See the silver and the flint
You’re the artist, I’m the floor
I don’t need to work no more
[Bridge]
I remember the bitter cold
Watching the story unfold
Muted brass inside my head
All the things we never said
But the B3 starts to groan
I’m never gonna be alone
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, the morning light is here
Washing out every single fear
I’m holding your name in print
See the silver and the flint
You’re the artist, I’m the floor
I don’t need to work no more
[Post-Chorus]
Crying these happy tears
For all those seven years
I’m holding on to gold
Watching your life unfold
Everything is burning bright
In this golden morning light
[Outro]
