The Hole in the Yard

[Verse 1] She's out in the yard, the moon hanging low, A shovel in her hands, dirt flying slow. The wind whispers sharp through the sycamore trees, And I’m watchin’ her dig, knees weak as can be. [Prechorus] She ain't said a word since that fight went down, Just a hard, cold stare and a furrowed frown. [Chorus] There's a hole in the yard, and it's six feet deep, Every shovelful thrown, my heart skips a beat. She’s got fire in her eyes, and I’ve got regret, Wonderin’ how long I’ve got left. [Verse 2] Last night I swore, then slammed the front door, Said things I don’t mean, but they cut to the core. Now she's out in the dark, workin’ steady as can be, And I’m wonderin’ if that hole's meant for me. [Prechorus] I tried to say sorry, but the words fell flat, Now the dirt piles high like there’s no turnin’ back. [Chorus] There's a hole in the yard, and it’s six feet wide, She’s diggin’ away, while I’m stuck inside. Every scrape of the shovel just twists the knife, Is she buryin' the fight—or buryin’ my life? [Chorus] There's a hole in the yard, and it's six feet deep, Every shovelful thrown, my heart skips a beat. She’s got fire in her eyes, and I’ve got regret, Wonderin’ how long I’ve got left.
