Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Sun is sinking low Shadows start to grow Cedar’s rotted through Nothing left to do But pull the rusted nail And tell a different tale My pliers bite the steel Learning how to feel [Verse] Found a crumpled note In his old canvas coat Scrawled in heavy lead Words he never said “Fix the creek gap first” “Before the clouds burst” Just a simple plan From a hard-handed man [Chorus] I’m pulling back the slack Taking all the anger back Stretching out the line Making sure it’s fine Forgiveness in the grain Washing out the stain In this golden hour glow I’m letting all it go [Post-Chorus] Letting it go Soft and slow Letting it go Now I know [Verse] Heifers start to low Moving soft and slow They know the rhythm well More than I could tell He walked this very ridge Building every bridge Between the pride and shame Of a family name [Chorus] I’m pulling back the slack Taking all the anger back Stretching out the line Making sure it’s fine Forgiveness in the grain Washing out the stain In this golden hour glow I’m letting all it go [Bridge] His hammer fits my palm The evening’s feeling calm My knuckles bleed a bit I’m finally over it The silence isn’t cold Now that I am old I see the man he was Just because he does [Verse] The staple bites the wood Like I knew it should The tension holds the weight By the heavy gate I leave the tools behind With a quiet mind The pasture’s safe tonight Underneath the light [Chorus] I’m pulling back the slack Taking all the anger back Stretching out the line Making sure it’s fine Forgiveness in the grain Washing out the stain In this golden hour glow I’m letting all it go [Post-Chorus] Letting it go Soft and slow Letting it go Now I know [Outro]
