[Verse]
The old piano hums its tune tonight
Fingers stained with stories of wrong and right
A shadow falls
Where the keys once gleamed bright
[Chorus]
Play it soft
Play it slow
Let the gospel in my heart glow
A shadow on the keys
Oh let it flow
[Verse 2]
Whiskey breath
The smoke’s still in the air
Every note’s a prayer
Raw and bare
The bench creaks under my despair
[Prechorus]
But the sound
Oh the sound
It lifts me off the ground
[Chorus]
Play it soft
Play it slow
Let the gospel in my heart glow
A shadow on the keys
Oh let it flow
[Bridge]
The blues ain't just a color
It’s a fight
A hymn of sorrow wrapped in light
I play to make the darkness feel alright
