Lyrics
The slip-bucket water from December's on the floor.
Your shadow on the wall don't fit you anymore.
Another vessel collapses, bolts before it's set,
Just a mound of winter soil I haven't turned through yet.
[Chorus]
These hands are for pruning back the dead.
These hands are for the silence in my head.
[Verse 2]
I watch you from the doorway, past the stacked-up bags of grog.
The clay-dust cold on your knuckles, lost in the kiln-room fog.

These hands are for pruning back the dead.
These hands are for the silence in my head.

[Chorus]
These hands are for pruning back the dead.
These hands are for the silence in my head.
[Outro]
One pot on the drying rack.
No turning back.
