Pencil Marks and Pine

[Intro]
[Verse]
The porch swing is still
The lake air is chill
Windows are dusty
The lock is quite rusty
I step inside the heavy gloom
Of this hollowed-out room
[Pre-Chorus]
The light is getting low
Where did the years go?
I hear the floorboards groan
I am here all alone
[Chorus]
Pencil marks on the door
Shadows dance on the floor
Smell of mildew and pine
Ghosts of your time and mine
I am not sad anymore
Just glad for what came before
[Verse]
Your name is carved in wood
Right where we once stood
The kitchen is bare
But memories are there
An old deck of cards
Scattered like glass shards
[Chorus]
Pencil marks on the door
Shadows dance on the floor
Smell of mildew and pine
Ghosts of your time and mine
I am not sad anymore
Just glad for what came before
[Bridge]
I never said the words I should
I didn't think I ever would
The silence is a heavy weight
But maybe it is not too late
To say thank you to the air
And find some peace hidden there
[Breakdown]
Cello sings a low song
Where we both belong
Dusk turns into night
Holding on to the light
[Chorus]
Pencil marks on the door
Shadows dance on the floor
Smell of mildew and pine
Ghosts of your time and mine
I am not sad anymore
Just glad for what came before
[Post-Chorus]
Glad for what came before
Walking out through the door
Leaving it all behind
With a quiet mind
[Outro]
