[Intro]
[Verse]
I climbed the rusted stair
Through the heavy summer air
In the corner of the loft
Where the light is gray and soft
Found a piece of cherry wood
Hidden where it always stood
[Verse]
There’s a notch along the edge
Resting on a narrow ledge
A pencil line so thin
Where the blade was sinking in
He put the hammer down
And walked into the town
[Chorus]
It’s the story left untold
In a shape he couldn't hold
Stronger than the copper gold
Growing quiet, growing old
Just a mark upon the grain
Washing out the winter pain
[Post-Chorus]
Let the wood remain
Free of any stain
Let the wood remain
Free of any stain
[Verse]
My thumb traces the curve
Feeling every steady nerve
Sawdust like a ghost
On the things he loved the most
He didn't say goodbye
He just let the metal lie
[Verse]
The garage is cold and still
Underneath the window sill
Waiting for a master’s will
Far across the rising hill
He was busy making space
In this dusty, hallowed place
[Chorus]
It’s the story left untold
In a shape he couldn't hold
Stronger than the copper gold
Growing quiet, growing old
Just a mark upon the grain
Washing out the winter pain
[Bridge]
Let the preachers have the floor
Behind the heavy chapel door
I will take this jagged line
And make his silence mine
No more speeches in the dark
Just this tiny graphite spark
[Verse]
I won't finish what he started
For the brave and heavy hearted
Let the gap stay wide
With the secret kept inside
It is perfect as it is
Every single breath was his
[Chorus]
It’s the story left untold
In a shape he couldn't hold
Stronger than the copper gold
Growing quiet, growing old
Just a mark upon the grain
Washing out the winter pain
[Post-Chorus]
Let the wood remain
Free of any stain
Let the wood remain
Free of any stain
[Outro]
