[Verse 1] Found it by the back fence Blue tin, dented side Sun on the chipped paint Like a coin in disguise I tapped it with my knuckle It sang back once, then twice Dust in the bottom corner And a map of old gray nights [Pre-Chorus] I kept it in my coat Like a secret on my chest Every little broken thing Turns gold when it gets pressed [Chorus] Blue tin thunder Call my name Blue tin thunder Break the day Hold that spark Hold it close Blue tin thunder Thatโs what I know (blue tin thunder) [Verse 2] Kids on the sidewalk stared When I held it up high Like I pulled a small sky Out of the drainage line Mama said, โDonโt open itโ So I laughed and twisted slow Inside was just a marble And a folded paper boat [Pre-Chorus] I kept it in my coat Like a secret on my chest Every little broken thing Turns gold when it gets pressed [Chorus] Blue tin thunder Call my name Blue tin thunder Break the day Hold that spark Hold it close Blue tin thunder Thatโs what I know (blue tin thunder) [Bridge] If the whole world shakes Let it shake If the road runs dry Iโll still make One small sound One bright sign From a busted little box And a stubborn line [Final Chorus] Blue tin thunder Call my name Blue tin thunder Break the day Hold that spark Hold it close Blue tin thunder Thatโs what I know Blue tin thunder Wonโt let go (blue tin thunder)
