Track Insight / Lyrics
Iron ribs curl into dust
My varnish cracks but holds its trust
The moss creeps soft across my chin
Where rosin kissed the horsehair skin
No fingers dance on ebony
Just fern and spore in sympathy
The factory sighs a heavy breath
I sing a hymn beneath the death
Wood remembers every hand
Wood remembers where they stand
Though bow is gone and case is rot
The grain sings on, it knows the knot
Rain falls through the broken roof
Washing clean the ancient proof
Cello weeps beside me low
A duet only ruins know
Wood remembers every hand
Wood remembers where they stand
Though bow is gone and case is rot
The grain sings on, it knows the knot
Quiet was a heavy stone
Now the wind has found a tone
No cathedral, no pew, no choir
Just sap and time and tension wire
The banjo claws a rolling drone
Through rusted beam and standing stone
My bridge lifts high, my belly breathes
Reclaiming all the air it breathes
Hymns half-remembered in the grain
Fall like fruit on summer rain
No audience, no stage, no light
Just moss and moon and wooden night
Wood remembers every hand
Wood remembers where they stand
Though bow is gone and case is rot
The grain sings on, it knows the knot
Wood remembers every hand
Just wood and wind
Singing again
