Lyrics
The sawdust from your house on Abercorn Street
Settles in my coffee, tastes bittersweet.
It's Tuesday morning, quarter-past five,
My brother's still sleeping, and these hands are trying to keep old wood alive.
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

About the cold brass doorknobs and the price of what we did.
[Outro]
For now, just a sawdust halo in the morning air.
A silent, bitter, Abercorn prayer.
