Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Dust upon the shelf Talking to myself Cedar wood and bone I am not alone The parlor guitar sighs Underneath these skies [Pre-Chorus] A slip of paper white Hidden from the light Tucked behind the brace A secret time and place [Chorus] Blackberry stains on hands Across the summer lands Barn rain on the roof The only living proof We danced until the dawn Before the light was gone [Verse] Nineteen twenty-four Letters on the floor She wrote of the heat Stains upon her feet Blue and purple hue A love she never knew [Chorus] Blackberry stains on hands Across the summer lands Barn rain on the roof The only living proof We danced until the dawn Before the light was gone [Bridge] The wood remembers all How the shadows fall My wife has passed away But I hear her today In every sanded line The past begins to shine [Solo] [Verse] I fix the broken bridge Across the wooden ridge My hands are getting old But the story is gold I think of her own smile Stay with me a while [Chorus] Blackberry stains on hands Across the summer lands Barn rain on the roof The only living proof We danced until the dawn Before the light was gone [Post-Chorus] It glows inside the grain To ease the quiet pain Small joys never die Underneath the sky [Outro]
