00:18In the fields where the wheat once bowed in gold
00:22Now only stubble cuts
00:25The morning cold
00:27Footprints filled with rain
00:29That never dries
00:31And the scarecrow leans
00:33Where no birds fly
00:35The hearth that held the supper
00:38Warm and bright
00:40Is black and hollow
00:41Swallowing the light
00:44A chair still rocks
00:46Though no one sits inside
00:48And the clock forgets
00:50Which way the hours ride
00:55Oh, the colors bleed and bleed away
01:00Into a grave that has no name
01:04Every flame that swore it'd never die
01:09Lies down in ashes
01:12Asking why
01:13And the wind moves through like it's a shame
01:46Carrying nothing
01:48Even echoes
01:49Even echoes have nowhere to go
02:18A grave that has no name
02:20That has no name
02:55There was a song the whole world used to sing
03:00I hear its ghost in everything
03:04It hums beneath the floorboards
03:07Late at night
03:08Then fades
03:12Before I catch the light
03:33Asking why
03:35And the wind moves through like it's a shame
03:40Carrying nothing
03:45Carrying nothing
03:46Nothing left to carry home again
03:51The fields are quiet now
03:55The chair has stopped its rock again
03:58Only the rain keeps falling
04:04Only the rain keeps falling
04:06Falling
04:12Falling
04:15Falling
04:19Falling
04:21Oh
04:22Oh
