歌詞
[Verse 1]
You held the ladder
Dad
While we painted the old porch rail
Said
“Don’t just cover what you see
Brush the corners
Brush the nails”
Middle boy
Between two storms
You called me your quiet light
“Don’t keep score
” you’d laugh and say
“Help a stranger ‘cause it’s right”
[Chorus]
You were a rainbow over our small house
Every color when the rain poured down
Red hands
Blue jokes
Gold in your tired eyes
You tied the world together
Line by line
I still reach up when the sky goes rough
Looking for my father’s touch
[Verse 2]
Kitchen table art class nights
Coffee rings on every page
You’d talk Michelangelo’s aching arms
Da Vinci’s patient
Endless gaze
Said
“One carved mountains out of stone
One chased shadows into light
But the painter’s touch is in the care
More than in the sight”
[Chorus]
You were a rainbow over our small house
Every color when the rain poured down
Red hands
Blue jokes
Gold in your tired eyes
You tied the world together
Line by line
I still reach up when the sky goes rough
Looking for my father’s touch
[Bridge]
Now it’s just three sons in a pickup cab
Arguing over what you’d do
Older brother wants the chisel
Younger
Every shade of blue
Me
I’m holding both their coats
Like you taught me all those years
Trying to be the steady hand
In a world that smears
[Chorus]
You were a rainbow over our small house
Every color when the rain poured down
Red hands
Blue jokes
Gold in your tired eyes
You tied the world together
Line by line
I still reach up when the sky goes rough
Looking for my father’s touch
[Outro]
So I patch up fences
Fix what’s broke
Leave a little more than I take
Hoping in each quiet kindness
Your colors don’t fade
You held the ladder
Dad
While we painted the old porch rail
Said
“Don’t just cover what you see
Brush the corners
Brush the nails”
Middle boy
Between two storms
You called me your quiet light
“Don’t keep score
” you’d laugh and say
“Help a stranger ‘cause it’s right”
[Chorus]
You were a rainbow over our small house
Every color when the rain poured down
Red hands
Blue jokes
Gold in your tired eyes
You tied the world together
Line by line
I still reach up when the sky goes rough
Looking for my father’s touch
[Verse 2]
Kitchen table art class nights
Coffee rings on every page
You’d talk Michelangelo’s aching arms
Da Vinci’s patient
Endless gaze
Said
“One carved mountains out of stone
One chased shadows into light
But the painter’s touch is in the care
More than in the sight”
[Chorus]
You were a rainbow over our small house
Every color when the rain poured down
Red hands
Blue jokes
Gold in your tired eyes
You tied the world together
Line by line
I still reach up when the sky goes rough

Fix what’s broke
Leave a little more than I take
Hoping in each quiet kindness
Your colors don’t fade
音楽のスタイル
folk, Dusty folk/Americana ballad with male vocals, fingerpicked acoustic and faint pedal steel. Intimate verses sit close-mic’d and conversational; chorus opens with warm harmonies and a simple kick on the 2 and 4. Subtle organ pad swells under the bridge, then everything pulls back to solo voice and guitar for the last line. Earthy, front-porch mix, grain left in the vocal., emotional
