The Piano Lesson - John Vanderslice

It’s 2 and 4

Which side are you on?

There are rules

When you strike the drum

When you sing along

Underneath the haze

Of white-out summer days

Two notes ring out:

One within, one without

Go ask anyone, I am my father’s son

You’ll find my mother near, ask her she’ll set you clear

Rest your thumb

On the middle C

Run the scale

Hold the pedal down

Let it bleed

Underneath the gaze

Of white-out summer days

Two notes ring out:

One within, one without

Go ask anyone, I am my father’s son

You’ll find my mother near, ask her she’ll set you clear
