[Verse 1] Cracked hill road at the edge of town Rust on the gate Paint peeling down Granddad’s barn leaning into the wind But there’s a tune that keeps breaking in [Chorus] Pipes of hope Calling over broken stone Every dented roof Every tired soul Lifts when that lonely chorus rolls Pipes of hope Playing where the wild grass grows I close my eyes And I’m not alone I hear those pipes of hope [Verse 2] Mum at the sink Humming soft and low Bills on the fridge in a crooked row Kids on the floor with a jar of coins Laugh when the melody hits their joints (hey) [Chorus] Pipes of hope Calling over broken stone Every dented roof Every tired soul Lifts when that lonely chorus rolls Pipes of hope Playing where the wild grass grows I close my eyes And I’m not alone I hear those pipes of hope [Bridge] One small song through a busted town speaker One clear note And the dark feels weaker (oh) If all we own is this ragged refrain Let it rise Let it rise through the rain [Chorus] Pipes of hope Calling over broken stone Every dented roof Every tired soul Lifts when that lonely chorus rolls Pipes of hope Playing where the wild grass grows I close my eyes And I’m going home I follow pipes of hope
