Track Insight / Lyrics
He sanded soft the worn leather glove
Dreams of days in distant lands and love
The clicks and creak of needle and awl
Each stitch a tale of hearts that once entwined like twining vines
He'll polish every wrinkle, every crease
Until this skin is bright, so smooth with ease
The lineman's hands that saved the tree
Now bless his workshop, hands forever free
Temple leather guardian through the years
Underneath the snow, his story endures
Dust motes dance in slanted winter light
His fingers moving, day and endless night
Boots waterproof, belts and saddles strong
He sewed for outlaws, and queen and throng
Each stitch and every seam, a verse of praise
For trials faced, for love that time delays
He'll polish every wrinkle, every crease
Until this skin is bright, so smooth with ease
The lineman's hands that saved the tree
Now bless his workshop, hands forever free
Temple leather guardian through the years
Underneath the snow, his story endures
Dust motes dance in slanted winter light
His fingers moving, day and endless night
Time weathers walls, yet NOTHING fades
The letters, symbols, stories, hopes made
Phoenix-ancient tales this leather wears
Echoing the one who worked these hands for years
Temple leather guardian through the years
Underneath the snow, his story endures
Dust motes dance in slanted winter light
His fingers moving, day and endless night
One last rub, the hide now shines
Whispers secrets of the hands that sign
The stories of a life on display
In flawless leather, another winter's day.
