Lyrics

Unopened mail on the window sash,

Knife on the sill where the nights turn ash.

Your weather changed like a borrowed coat;

I patched the roof and I stayed afloat.

Church-bell dust on a Monday spine,

Gravel like prayer under truck bed pine.

Truth keeps books when the noise won't pay;

Silence adds up what the words won't say.

In the small hours, under tall pines,

I count the rings in the hurt I survived.

Kept your key, but I kept my mind—

I learned to lose what I couldn't find.

If home is a voice and not a sign,

I'll follow the grain, not the worn-out line.

Coffee ring maps on the county page,

We drew forever with a shaking gauge.

You loved the mirror, I loved the frame;

You needed thunder, I needed rain.

Barn light hums like a moth-bit hymn,

I bless the start we forgot to begin.

Grace writes small in the margins late;

I underlined once, then turned the page.

In the small hours, under tall pines,

I count the rings in the hurt I survived.

Kept your key, but I kept my mind—

I learned to lose what I couldn't find.

If home is a voice and not a sign,

I'll follow the grain, not the worn-out line.

I was the porch that waited lit,

You were the road that never fit.

So I changed the lock to a softer code—

My name walked first, and the heart followed.

Let the past hang quiet on its nail;

I'll take the sky and leave the tale.

Small hours, tall pines, steady air—

I make a life that meets me there.
