The Piano Lesson

It’s 2 and 4
Which side are you on?
There are rules
When you strike the drum
When you sing along
Underneath the haze
Of white-out summer days
Two notes ring out:
One within, one without
Go ask anyone, I am my father’s son
You’ll find my mother near, ask her she’ll set you clear
Rest your thumb
On the middle C
Run the scale
Hold the pedal down
Let it bleed
Underneath the gaze
Of white-out summer days
Two notes ring out:
One within, one without
Go ask anyone, I am my father’s son
You’ll find my mother near, ask her she’ll set you clear
