lyrics

You set the gauge by a chipped blue mug

On the pine board, beside the vice

You said, "Keep pressure on the left hand"

Then split the thread with a knife

You showed me knots with a cracked brass pin

At the shed door, in February rain

I copied your wrist, slow and clumsy

You nodded once and did it again

At six oh seven, the kettle hissed

Your boot left mud on the floor

You turned my bad grip in your palm

Patient as rain on the shore

Show me again

Show me again

Show me again

Show me again

I learn through the bruise

I learn through the bruise

You laid the screws in a rusted tin

By the window, under dull white glass

You mixed up right and wrong on purpose

Then watched me reach and miss too fast

The drill bit smoked on the fourth try

I bit my tongue till it bled

You wiped the shavings from my sleeve

And pointed back at the thread

At six oh seven, the kettle hissed

Your boot left mud on the floor

You turned my bad grip in your palm

Patient as rain on the shore

Show me again

Show me again

Show me again

Show me again

I learn through the bruise

I learn through the bruise

You never raised your voice once

Just tapped the bench, then the nail

The whole room held its breath in sawdust

While the radio chewed the gale

I saw the lesson in your silence

In the dent at the edge of the sink

If you taught me wrong, you taught me gently

And left me time to think

Show me again

Show me again

Show me again

Show me again

I learn through the bruise

I learn through the bruise
