Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Cedar shavings on the floor Dusty light across the door I carve the neck so thin Where your songs begin Fairy lights above the bench Varnish with a heavy stench But the grain is feeling right In the quiet of the night [Pre-Chorus] You said you'd be back by fall I still hear your distant call Across the ocean, wide and blue I built this piece for you [Chorus] Oh, the wood remembers well Stories that we used to tell Every string is tuned to gold For the hands I used to hold Though you're gone across the sea You're still playing here with me [Post-Chorus] Strumming on the cedar heart We are never far apart Strumming on the cedar heart We are never far apart [Break] [Verse] Crickets hum through open screens Chasing all our childhood dreams Song sheets tucked inside the case I can almost see your face The mahogany is aged and deep Secrets that the hollows keep I sand the edges soft and smooth Finding something left to prove [Pre-Chorus] The workshop window stays ajar I wonder where on earth you are But the scent of pine is sweet Making the memory complete [Chorus] Oh, the wood remembers well Stories that we used to tell Every string is tuned to gold For the hands I used to hold Though you're gone across the sea You're still playing here with me [Bridge] The fiddle starts to weep a line A melody of yours and mine The piano keys are soft and low Watching all the shadows grow I don't mind the empty chair I can feel you in the air [Instrumental] [Verse] The letter came from far away On a cold and greyish day But I kept the chisel in my hand To finish what we both had planned It’s not a box of grief or pain It’s a shelter from the rain I pluck the D and hear the ring Of every song we used to sing [Chorus] Oh, the wood remembers well Stories that we used to tell Every string is tuned to gold For the hands I used to hold Though you're gone across the sea You're still playing here with me [Post-Chorus] Strumming on the cedar heart We are never far apart Strumming on the cedar heart We are never far apart [Outro]
