Static church bells on a broken radio
Preacher in the wires saying let it go
I drove all night through a rain I earned
With a heart full of bridges I had burned
I don't need thunder to know I'm small
I just need mercy when I fall
Ring, ring through the static
Call my name from the dark
I have been lost, I have been tragic
Still there is gold in this scarred-up heart
Ring, ring, let the morning start
A diner girl filled my coffee twice
Said honey, grief is just love with ice
I smiled like a man who almost knew
The way back home was coming through
I don't need thunder to know I'm small
I just need mercy when I fall
Ring, ring through the static
Call my name from the dark
I have been lost, I have been tragic
Still there is gold in this scarred-up heart
Ring, ring, let the morning start
