Lyrics
The iron pin off County Road 9 has held my western edge.
I've watched your bloodline walk the contour of this limestone ledge.
Every son a new depression, a topographical mistake,

[Chorus]

A relief map drawn in silence on this worn-out patch of stone.
[Bridge]
Last October, you just stood there by the sycamore, bone-white.
You redrew the boundary just by staying through the night.
[Outro]
The iron pin off County Road 9 still holds the western edge.
