Lyrics
The ’68 Martin in its coffin of black leather
Came on the Tuesday ferry in the change of the weather.
Left on the porch planks, a long, patient box,

A history held in the tension of string.
[Outro]
The dust motes just dance on a low winter sunbeam.
(PAUSE 4 SECONDS)
[Coda]
And a cambium layer begins to form.
