歌词
[Intro] [Verse] The dust settles on the pine Sunlight cuts a golden line Rust on the old iron saw Left it there without a flaw Cedar shavings on the floor I don't hear him anymore Quiet echoes in the hall Shadows leaning on the wall [Pre-Chorus] The air is thick and still Up against the window sill I find a piece of heart Where he made his art [Chorus] A bird with just one wing Waiting for the woods to sing Held in hands that knew the grain Through the sun and through the rain It’s a love he never spoke Carved in cedar, carved in oak [Post-Chorus] Just a little piece of him In the light so soft and dim [Verse] Rough edges under my thumb Feel the way the fibers hum He was smoothing out the rough Guess he thought it was enough Left the chisel by the jar Tracing every little scar Smell of oil and old tea Like he’s standing next to me [Pre-Chorus] The violin starts to breathe Watch the heavy spirit heave I find a crumpled scrap Hidden in a wooden trap [Chorus] A bird with just one wing Waiting for the woods to sing Held in hands that knew the grain Through the sun and through the rain It’s a love he never spoke Carved in cedar, carved in oak [Bridge] Then I see the yellowed page Tucked inside a wooden cage “For the boy who’s grown so tall” Words that catch me as I fall Just a simple, shaking line “Take your time, you’ll be fine” He left the best for last Walking slowly through the past [Breakdown] I pick up the sanding tool Sitting on his wooden stool One more stroke to make it right In the fading afternoon light [Chorus] Now the bird has both its wings Listen to the way it sings Held in hands that know the grain Through the sun and through the rain It’s a love we finally spoke Carved in cedar, carved in oak [Hook] I’m doing fine, Grandpa I’m doing fine I’m doing fine, Grandpa One line at a time [Outro]
