Track Insight / Lyrics

He clips the sheath on Michigan Ave Snow falls soft on copper grave The jazz club basement hums below Saxophone moans through floorboards slow His tool belt hangs on frozen pipe He splices wire lets the music type Wire and brass in Chicago night One carries voice one carries light He fixes breaks where silence grows While trumpet blooms where nobody knows Wire and brass the repairman's prayer Two different songs in the same cold air Old Mrs Rossi calls upstairs Her rotary dial answers prayers He climbs the stairs with steady hand A crackle clears across the land The bassist walks a midnight line While he connects the copper twine Wire and brass in Chicago night One carries voice one carries light He fixes breaks where silence grows While trumpet blooms where nobody knows Wire and brass the repairman's prayer Two different songs in the same cold air The drummer brushes snare skin soft A hymn half remembered drifting aloft He strips the insulation clean Like choir robes in washed out green The solo builds the wire holds tight Two crafts converge in winter night No audience applauds his work Just dial tone where voices lurk But when the sax hits blue high C He feels the holy harmony A splice complete a circuit closed The music lifts where he composed The pianist strikes a minor chord He tests the line restores the word A grandmother hears her grandson's voice Through copper path a vital choice The music swells the connection pure Two lonely arts find sudden cure Wire and brass in Chicago night One carries voice one carries light He fixes breaks where silence grows While trumpet blooms where nobody knows Wire and brass the repairman's prayer Two different songs in the same cold air Night deepens on the South Side street The repairman packs his tool kit neat The last set ends the club goes dark He walks the block past Victory Park Above the lines he mended hum Below the brass has struck him dumb Wire and brass in Chicago night One carries voice one carries light He fixes breaks where silence grows While trumpet blooms where nobody knows Wire and brass the repairman's prayer Two different songs in the same cold air Wire and brass Same cold air Wire and brass Same cold air
