Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Midnight light is low Kitchen floor starts to glow Found a box in the hall Shadows lean on the wall Dusty lid comes away End of a long day [Pre-Chorus] Wrapped in old yellow paper Fading like morning vapor Something heavy in my hand Things I didn't understand [Chorus] It’s a half-carved bird Not a single word Just the smell of cedar wood I’d tell you if I could How those lessons saved me From the man I used to be [Verse] You held the chisel tight Working through the night Silver hair in your eyes Underneath the summer skies Taught me how to see the grain How to hide the inner pain [Pre-Chorus] Rough edges turned to gold Stories left half-told I was young and far away With nothing left to say [Chorus] It’s a half-carved bird Not a single word Just the smell of cedar wood I’d tell you if I could How those lessons saved me From the man I used to be [Bridge] I never said thank you For everything you knew I thought we had time To finish this climb Now the blade is cold And I am getting old [Verse] I pick up the knife Think about your life The shavings hit the floor Like they did years before I’ll finish what you started For the dear departed [Hook] One wing is missing The silence is kissing The hollow of the room In the midnight gloom [Chorus] It’s a half-carved bird Not a single word Just the smell of cedar wood I’d tell you if I could How those lessons saved me From the man I used to be [Outro]
