[Intro]
[Verse]
The floorboards groan under my weight
The latch is cold, a rusted gate
Cedar chests and mothball breath
Counting shadows, dodging death
Boxes stacked in leaning towers
Losing track of heavy hours
[Pre-Chorus]
I pull a sheet of linen back
A silver spine, a velvet crack
There’s a ghost inside the wood
Doing things she never could
[Chorus]
Oh, the watercolor’s weeping
Secrets that she’s keeping
A cottage on a jagged shore
A latch upon a painted door
The ocean is a wash of gray
Where the summer slipped away
[Post-Chorus]
Still the blue is bleeding through
All the things I never knew
Still the shore is out of reach
Walking on a silent beach
[Break]
[Verse]
The gables lean toward the tide
With nowhere left for us to hide
She left the garden in the white
A sudden stop, a loss of light
Was it grief that stalled her hand?
Or sinking deep in coastal sand?
[Pre-Chorus]
I touch the paper, cold and thin
Where the salt air settles in
It’s a map of what she lost
At a heavy, hidden cost
[Chorus]
Oh, the watercolor’s weeping
Secrets that she’s keeping
A cottage on a jagged shore
A latch upon a painted door
The ocean is a wash of gray
Where the summer slipped away
[Bridge]
The harpsichord begins to play
Inside my head from far away
I recognize this hollow chest
This searching for a place to rest
It’s a debt I didn’t choose
Something I was born to lose
[Verse]
I trace the line of salt and foam
A place she never quite called home
The oboe sighs a low refrain
Like fingers on a windowpane
I’ll wrap it up in silk and lace
And hide away her hollow space
[Chorus]
Oh, the watercolor’s weeping
Secrets that she’s keeping
A cottage on a jagged shore
A latch upon a painted door
The ocean is a wash of gray
Where the summer slipped away
[Post-Chorus]
Still the blue is bleeding through
All the things I never knew
Still the shore is out of reach
Walking on a silent beach
[Outro]
