Lyrics
The little brass can feels cold on my palm,
Third Tuesday morning, the 4 a.m. calm.
The ficus you bought on Lafayette is high.
Its leaves are the only color left in the sky.
[Chorus]
This is my hothouse prayer for you.
Just a little pressure, see the dark soil through.
Tipping the water, slow and light,
Holding back the long November night.
[Verse 2]
The half-smoked pack of Winstons on the plate.
The key to the Chevy, rusting by the gate.
The water-stain circle on the hardwood floor.
The draft from the bottom of the kitchen door.
[Chorus]
This is my hothouse prayer for you.
Just a little pressure, see the dark soil through.
Tipping the water, slow and light,
Holding back the long November night.
[Bridge]

You tapped the pot, said, "Listen for the sound.
'A hollow knock means thirsty, deep in the ground.'"
I'm knocking now, but the echo's all mine,
Just another ghost on the Trumbull line.
[Outro]
A single drop trembles on a leaf's thin spine.
The final bell. And the silence is mine.
