歌词
[Intro] [Verse] Steel gate rolls up high Breath turns to white smoke Winter wind is a cruel joke Grandad bought this spot in '69 Now the register is mine Counting nickels, keeping time Ice on the sidewalk cracks I am watching all the tracks Nobody here ever looks back [Hook] Check the rhythm, check the shelf Care for others, not yourself (Scratch: "Block stay steady") Keep the coffee hot and ready [Verse] Mrs. Gable needs her tea Charge it to her memory I know she is short on currency The radiator hums a tune Beneath a pale winter moon Spring will not be coming soon I fix the light for the kid Keep his secret safely hid Just like my father did [Chorus] It is the quiet things we do Holding tight and pushing through Fluorescent lights in the grey Keeping all the ghosts away The block is breathing slow Bathed in a steady glow We do not need a parade This is how a home is made [Verse] Snow piles against the glass Watching city buses pass Time is moving way too fast I sweep salt from the floor Lock the heavy iron door But I am always wanting more More life in these cold streets More rhythm in the heartbeats Where the salt and asphalt meets [Bridge] Trumpet wails in the dark Looking for a tiny spark History leaves a heavy mark Spiritual sounds on the wax Trying to find the facts In the spaces and the cracks [Chorus] It is the quiet things we do Holding tight and pushing through Fluorescent lights in the grey Keeping all the ghosts away The block is breathing slow Bathed in a steady glow We do not need a parade This is how a home is made [Verse] Sun starts to bleed through Morning sky is turning blue Got a whole lot left to do Shift is almost at an end To the city, I am a friend Broken hearts I try to mend One loose cigarette at a time Walking on a thin white line Everything is gonna be fine [Outro]
