Lyrics
The last wall came down at 10 AM Tuesday,
My crowbar was shaking in the Sandoval County sun.
The air tasted of gypsum and a hundred old arguments,
And I knew the hardest kind of work was finally done.
My knuckles were raw from the grip and the letting go,
There were splinters of memory buried under the skin.
[Chorus]
It's all sawdust and Sunday morning now,
I can see the Jemez Mountains with nothing in the way.
My demolition's a doxology somehow,
Oh, this holy dust is the only ground I'll claim.
[Verse 2]
You said, "A woman's work is holding it all together,"
And for years my own two hands built a beautiful cage.
I mistook the weight for worship, the silence for shelter,
Forgot God ever wrote a new word on a blank page.
[Chorus]
It's all sawdust and Sunday morning now,
I can see the Jemez Mountains with nothing in the way.
My demolition's a doxology somehow,
Oh, this holy dust is the only ground I'll claim.
[Bridge]
The old floorboards groaned like a hymn I used to know,
But the sky through the rafters is a different kind of show.
[Chorus]
It's all sawdust and Sunday morning now,
I can see the Jemez Mountains with nothing in the way.
My demolition's a doxology somehow,
Oh, this holy dust is the only ground I'll claim.
[Outro]
Sawdust and Sunday...
Yeah, nothing in the way now...
