The Dimming (Field Recording))

© Copyright 2025 SonicSketch https://suno.com/@sonicsketch [Verse] Down past th’ ridge, past th’ old mine seam Where th’ creek runs thick an’ don’t quite clean They say th’ light shined truer then But light don’t talk, an’ it don’t mend [Verse] She kep’ a key in a cedar box Fer a door long gone an’ a chain gone lost Name wore off on th’ family stone Still somethin’ knocks when yer sleepin’ alone [Verse] Bread went moldy on th’ sill Ain’t no mouths, but we’s fed still Voices low where th’ root runs deep Countin’ stars that don’t dare speak [Chorus] This here’s th’ dimmin’, child Where th’ world grows thin Th’ trees lean in But th’ stars won’t begin [Vocalise] “ah–oh–ah” [Bridge] Who walks th’ ridge? — Shadow’s kin Who calls the name? — Not the wind Where’s the blood go? — Under stone What’d we forget? — We left it alone [Verse] Pap done drank from a jar o’ wind Said it tasted like what might’a been Mama sang through a broke comb spine Now her tune’s laid down with mine [Verse] I laid down where th’ corn won’t grow Felt th’ hill breathe soft an’ low Somethin’ hummed where my name should be Like a bell rang slow ‘cross hollowed tree [Final Chorus] This here’s th’ dimmin’, child It don’t come loud But it takes what’s yours An’ it walks it proud
