Lyrics
This silver seam above my right eye, Caleb,
Came from that August afternoon in the hayloft.
I trace the ridge when the Blue Ridge dark gets tangled,
Feel the pull of a memory I thought I'd lost.
[Chorus]
It's just a half-inch of faded line,
A wound that mended crooked on its own sweet time.
The only piece of you they couldn't bury down,
The only part of that day I get to keep now.
[Verse 2]
Mama said, "Honey, it'll barely even show,"
As the doctor pulled the last black thread out slow.
She kept on darning your socks 'til the heels went white,
And we learned to sleep with the hallway light.
[Chorus]
It's just a half-inch of faded line,
A wound that mended crooked on its own sweet time.
The only piece of you they couldn't bury down,
The only part of that day I get to keep now.
[Bridge]
And some nights I press my finger to the bone,
Thankful for this map that leads me back to being alone with you,
Just for a second, in the falling air,
Before the silence sits back in your empty chair.
[Outro]
Yeah, this silver seam, Caleb,
Is a debt I'm glad I get to pay.
