I feel her heels click on my grain
A sudden rush of summer rain
She leans her back against the wall
Waiting for the sky to fall
The wooden plank knows every tear
The heavy weight of hidden fear
She breaks apart beneath the blue
And I am holding onto you
The diner apron stained with grease
A momentary moment's peace
She lets the coffee saucer slide
With nowhere left for her to hide
The wooden plank knows every tear
The heavy weight of hidden fear
She breaks apart beneath the blue
And I am holding onto you
The thunder rolls a heavy drum
The shaking in her fingers come
She counts the seconds in the air
A lonely woman in despair
The wind is cold and cutting deep
The secrets that the pine trees keep
A single bolt is rusting through
The only thing she ever knew
She drops her head and lets it go
The river starts to overflow
The storm is loud and crashing fast
The breaking point has come at last
The wooden plank knows every tear
The heavy weight of hidden fear
She breaks apart beneath the blue
And I am holding onto you
The clouds are gray and thick as lead
The words she never should have said
She sinks down low upon the floor
And cannot take it anymore
The wooden plank knows every tear
The heavy weight of hidden fear
She breaks apart beneath the blue
And I am holding onto you
Just a piece of old pine wood
Standing where the spirit stood
Hold the line.
