[Verse] The wind’s been whisperin’ low, down by the old bay dock Rattlin’ loose boards on the shack where time forgot Moonlight slips through the cracks, paints shadows on the floor But every breeze that shakes these walls, it’s knocking on the door [Pre-Chorus] And I hear it callin’, soft and slow Like a story only the river knows [Chorus] Rattle, rattle, wind don’t break me down I’m holdin’ on to what’s left in this little town Rattle, rattle, sing your lonesome song But the dawn is comin’ and it won’t be long [Verse] Old nails keep on groanin’, like a voice from deep inside Every creak and every moan’s a ghost I can’t hide But there’s a fire burnin’ bright beneath this weary skin No storm can wash away the hope I’m holdin’ in [Pre-Chorus] And I feel it risin’, clear and strong Like the river’s hum will carry us on [Chorus] Rattle, rattle, wind don’t break me down I’m holdin’ on to what’s left in this little town Rattle, rattle, sing your lonesome song But the dawn is comin’ and it won’t be long [Bridge] Through the cracks we find the light, shinin’ through the darkest night Every shiver, every shake, tells me I’m still awake In this shelter made of dreams, where nothing’s quite as it seems The wind’s a friend that calls me home, I’m never truly alone [Chorus] Rattle, rattle, wind don’t break me down I’m holdin’ on to what’s left in this little town Rattle, rattle, sing your lonesome song But the dawn is comin’ and it won’t be long [Outro] Rattle on, rattle on, let the cold wind cry I’m standin’ steady here, beneath the endless sky
