Aunt Jean's Piano

from Big Texas Sky by Darryl Gregory

/

lyrics

I run my hands across the keys
Black and white and yellowed with age
The pedals groan - dust makes me sneeze
Old music notes fall from the page
As I play
As I play
As I play
Aunt Jean's piano

I was not privileged to hear her sing
She died before my parents wed
They say she pulled angels from this thing
Then angels carried her from her bed
And I play
I play
I play Aunt Jean's piano

Jean - Won't you play that number
About Jesus near the cross
Her Pa loved the old Methodist Hymns
Jean - Please play something so's
We can have a dance
Her sisters and brother gathered round
And they all wanted a chance
To play
To play
To play on Jean's piano

I feel her ghost inside the chords
As they drift around this room
I see her dancing on the porch
Singing an old Texas tune
God called her home too young
She was only twenty-four
So many songs left un-sung
A piece of furniture left by the door

Now I get to play
I play
I play
Aunt Jean's piano

Take a little Mellencamp, throw in some Cash, stir with a dash of Hiatt and flavor with Springsteen & Earle. Sounds Like Darryl Gregory. Heat-n-Eat! mmm good.
