Track Insight / Lyrics
Cobblestones hum tram lines deep
Horsehair wakes while city sleeps
Rosin snow on velvet floor
I hold the warm behind the door
Felt memory keeps the note
Wood and velvet, breath and coat
Case closed on winter's biting jaw
I am the hymn the alley saw
Fingerless gloves tune steel G string
Frost bites hard on everything
Bridge shakes loose a prayer half-spoke
My latch keeps the sacred smoke
Felt memory keeps the note
Wood and velvet, breath and coat
Case closed on winter's biting jaw
I am the hymn the alley saw
Condensation blooms on lid
Organ pipes in church crypt hid
Pedal notes rumble through my wood
Altos hum where I once stood
Felt memory keeps the note
Wood and velvet, breath and coat
Case closed on winter's biting jaw
I am the hymn the alley saw
No spotlight finds this cobblestone stage
No audience but turning page
Just vibration, wood, and wire
A singer's breath, a frozen fire
Dawn breaks blue on iron grate
Case clicks shut, we navigate
Subway tiles and fluorescent hum
I carry where the music's from
Felt memory keeps the note
Wood and velvet, breath and coat
Case closed on winter's biting jaw
I am the hymn the alley saw
Felt memory keeps the note
Zipper sings the final verse
Velvet dark, no more rehearsal
