Lyrics
Granddaddy's Stanley plane feels cold in my hand tonight.
It's late, I know... sorry to call, just... the workshop light was bright.
The whole city's sleeping under that Lowcountry haze,
and I'm just watching this ribbon of cedar peel away.
[Chorus]
Making sawdust angels on the workshop floor.
Swear I can feel you here, just like before.
Every single shaving a ghost in the grain.
Yeah, I'm making sawdust angels in the Charleston rain.
[Verse 2]
This cypress smells like the marsh after a summer storm.
Remember you told me, "Just follow the grain, it'll keep you warm"?
My hands know the motion, they move without me now.
Trying to build something that'll last somehow.
[Chorus]
Making sawdust angels on the workshop floor.
Swear I can feel you here, just like before.
Every single shaving a ghost in the grain.
Yeah, I'm making sawdust angels in the Charleston rain.
[Bridge]
And every perfect curl that falls from the blade...
is a word you never got the chance to say.
[Outro]
Anyway... I guess I'll see you. Talk soon.
