The Rusty Trumpet Sound

Lyrics

[Verse]
Down by the river where the wildflowers grow
An old man with a rusty trumpet
Blowin' slow
His notes danced with thunder from a distant hill
Echoes in the valley
Haunting and still

[Verse 2]
Folks gather 'round with their hearts full of sorrow
Finding solace in the tunes of the morrow
The beat of their feet on the dusty old ground
Drawn to the rhythm
A soul-stirring sound

[Chorus]
Blow
Rusty trumpet
Let your spirit fly
Carry these stories to the evening sky
In the wind's whisper
In the water's lilt
Live on
Old man
Through the songs you built

[Verse 3]
Lost love and broken dreams on the wings of brass
Melodies that linger
Shadows that pass
From dawn's first light to the moon's soft glow
The stories unfold in the tunes you blow

[Bridge]
A firefly finds its light in the dusk
Old man's breath and the trumpet's husk
The night wraps 'round in a blanket of sound
Every soul in the silence found

[Chorus]
Blow
Rusty trumpet
Let your spirit fly
Carry these stories to the evening sky
In the wind's whisper
In the water's lilt
Live on
Old man
Through the songs you built
