Parlor Piano
November 25, 2012
Sit on the bench
Push down the keys
Hear the sweet notes
Hit the sharps
Hit the flats
Push down the pedal
To make it last
Feel the rhythm
Vibrate your hands
Keep on practicing
And you'll someday
Play with the big bands
Make it fast and winding
Make it slow and mysterious
Finish the ending line
Let the sounds
Settle in the room
Let the strings take a rest
Get up to go
Leaving the song to live
In the soul of
The Parlor Piano
