**Prompt Description** Set in a foggy rural sawmill town in late autumn, follow a blue-collar sawyer grappling with quiet regret over missed childhood phone calls with his grandpa, finding bittersweet closure in hand-carving a birdhouse from the old oak they planted together. Include vivid, tactile imagery: pine sawdust caked in work boot laces, a chipped ceramic coffee mug on a workbench, crickets chirping at dusk. Music parameters: 92-102 BPM, D major, core instrumentation of fingerpicked mahogany acoustic guitar, wandering fiddle harmonies, weeping pedal steel, upright bass, soft brushed snare, subtle mandolin trills. Warm weathered male baritone with faint mountain twang, tone tender and worn, no overproduction.

[Intro]
[Verse]
The fog hangs heavy on the mill
The autumn wind is sharp and chill
Pine dust caked in leather laces
Hiding lines upon our faces
The saw blade sings a lonely tune
Underneath a silver moon
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the ghost of a rotary ring
Back when I didn't mean a thing
I let it ring until it stopped
While the heavy seconds dropped
[Chorus]
I’m carving out a tiny home
In the wood where we would roam
From the oak we put in the ground
Where the lost things can be found
It’s a house for a songbird’s wing
And the peace that it might bring
Just a little cedar and pine
To make up for the lost time
[Verse]
Chipped ceramic on the bench
Coffee steam and diesel stench
Hands are rough and stained with sap
Checking every grain and gap
We planted deep when I was ten
Never thought I’d touch it again
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the ghost of a rotary ring
Back when I didn't mean a thing
I let it ring until it stopped
While the heavy seconds dropped
[Chorus]
I’m carving out a tiny home
In the wood where we would roam
From the oak we put in the ground
Where the lost things can be found
It’s a house for a songbird’s wing
And the peace that it might bring
Just a little cedar and pine
To make up for the lost time
[Bridge]
"I'll call him back," I always said
Now the lines are cold and dead
Just a dial tone in the dark
Now I'm cutting through the bark
Every shaving is a prayer
Sent into the mountain air
[Solo]
[Verse]
Dusk is falling on the yard
Working wood shouldn't be this hard
Crickets start their evening choir
By the dying workshop fire
I smoothed the roof and fixed the door
I don't feel the weight no more
[Chorus]
I’m carving out a tiny home
In the wood where we would roam
From the oak we put in the ground
Where the lost things can be found
It’s a house for a songbird’s wing
And the peace that it might bring
Just a little cedar and pine
To make up for the lost time
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, the lost time
In the grain of the white pine
I can feel you're doing fine
In the heart of the design
[Outro]
