Lyrics
[Intro 15 seconds]
[bowed bass, distant chain percussion, low cello drone, ambient wind]
[Verse 1]
[baritone guitar instead of acoustic, sparse kick drum, muted fiddle swells]
A tin sparrow landed on a fencepost moon
Beside a rusted telescope in late July
The creek was humming Morse code hymns
To a scarecrow dressed in midnight sky
I carried a pocketful of thunder seeds
And a compass made of cedar smoke
Trying to stitch a broken sunrise
Through the holes in an old work coat
[Chorus]
[distorted resonator guitar, gritty harmony vocals, driving toms]
Like a lantern made of river dust
Like a church bell buried in snow
Faith ain't always a wildfire
Sometimes it's a grain silo glow
A mustard seed in a coffee can
A spark beneath a weather vane
God can move a mountain range
With a whisper through a window pane
[Verse 2]
[baritone guitar instead of acoustic, sparse kick drum, muted fiddle swells]
The windmill wore a crown of crows
The hayfield sang in minor keys
And somewhere past the gravel stars
Mercy drifted through the sycamores
I saw heaven in a toolbox drawer
And grace in a bent horseshoe
Funny how the smallest things
Keep pointing me back to You
[Bridge]
[half-time drums, bowed fiddle, church bell ambience]
An iron feather
A cedar flame
A pocket watch of pouring rain
A sleeping locomotive prayer
Still moving somewhere out there
[Final Chorus]
[full band, gritty electric guitar counter-melody]
Like a lantern made of river dust
Like a church bell buried in snow
Faith ain't always a wildfire
Sometimes it's a grain silo glow
