[Verse 1] Snow tapped hard on the pane Bare feet on a cold wood floor Mama stirred beans by the stove Dad tuned up by the door His old bow shook in his hand Like he knew what we'd lived through [Pre-Chorus] And the walls held every prayer Every dime we stretched thin The night leaned in close Then Dad played again [Chorus] Oh, let that fiddle cry Cry for the ones we were Cold winter in my bones Mama's hands and Daddy's blur Oh, let that fiddle cry Cry through the dark we knew These ghostly shadows of the past Still sing me home to you (cry, fiddle, cry) [Verse 2] Mama's skillet sang at dusk Onion smoke in the air One cracked plate, four worn chairs But love was laid there Dad would close his eyes and bow Like he was chasing light [Pre-Chorus] And I learned how to stand When the world felt too tight Through the hunger and the hush His old song cut through [Chorus] Oh, let that fiddle cry Cry for the ones we were Cold winter in my bones Mama's hands and Daddy's blur Oh, let that fiddle cry Cry through the dark we knew These ghostly shadows of the past Still sing me home to you (cry, fiddle, cry) [Bridge] Now the years sit on my shoulders Like a coat too thin But I still smell that supper And I hear him in the wind If I close my eyes real slow I can walk back through that door [Chorus] Oh, let that fiddle cry Cry for the ones we were Cold winter in my bones Mama's hands and Daddy's blur Oh, let that fiddle cry Cry through the dark we knew These ghostly shadows of the past Still sing me home to you (cry, fiddle, cry) (oh, sing me home)
