Listen Close lyrics

They built it small

The little hands

Brand new wood

And six copper strings

And I have told a thousand stories

Turning sorrow into gold

Painting pictures of a life well-lived

A memory I can hold

If you listen

So listen close

Glossy face

Now scuffed by song

A warning fray

Played all the day

Dusting off a thousand feelings

I had tucked away for good

Giving me into a heartache that I thought I never could

If you listen

So listen close

Listen close

All the love in every language

All the loss we share as well

Is the reason we keep singing

So you can see yourself

If you listen

Listen close
