[Verse 1] Boots by the sink Rain on the slate Your coat in the chair And the kettle too late I came in cold From the Longford road You laughed at my face As I shook off the load [Pre-Chorus] Say my name once Soft as a prayer Bring that old tune Back through the air [Chorus] Play that banjo, play it now Turn my shadow into sound Play that banjo, play it now Let this poor heart spin around (Play it now) (Spin around) [Verse 2] Tomatoes on tin Slicing the light Your hands in the flour Your hair all a-bright You tapped on the pan Kept time with your heel I swear in that room The whole world stood still [Pre-Chorus] Say my name once Soft as a prayer Bring that old tune Back through the air [Chorus] Play that banjo, play it now Turn my shadow into sound Play that banjo, play it now Let this poor heart spin around (Play it now) (Spin around) [Bridge] If the road keeps calling And the north wind bites Save me a place By the fire tonight I’ll bring the old boots You bring the song We’ll drink to the day That it took too long [Chorus] Play that banjo, play it now Turn my shadow into sound Play that banjo, play it now Let this poor heart spin around (Play it now) (Spin around)
