歌词
[Intro] [Verse] Rain hits the concrete hard Searching for my old yard Upright bass is thumping slow Where did all the years go? Shadows on the peeling paint Ghost of a sinner and a saint [Chorus] Oh, the weight he carried In the secrets buried Underneath the city lights Through the coldest winter nights He gave his blood to the bone Just to build this broken home [Verse] Hands stained with oil and grease He never found a moment's peace Hammering out a bitter life To keep us from the cutting knife I saw the fire in his eyes Behind the veil of all his lies [Pre-Chorus] Hear that organ start to moan I’m standing here all on my own The brass is screaming in the dark Trying to find a holy spark [Chorus] Oh, the weight he carried In the secrets buried Underneath the city lights Through the coldest winter nights He gave his blood to the bone Just to build this broken home [Bridge] I hated every silent word The prayers that I never heard But now I see the heavy cost Of everything that he has lost I wash the dirt from off my name And let the rain drown out the shame [Hook] Grit in my teeth Fire underneath Walking through the pouring rain Breaking every rusted chain [Solo] [Chorus] Oh, the weight he carried In the secrets buried Underneath the city lights Through the coldest winter nights He gave his blood to the bone Just to build this broken home [Post-Chorus] He gave his blood to the bone Just to build this broken home I’m standing here all on my own In the city made of stone [Outro]
