[Intro] [upright and kick, no hats] [no vocal] [Verse 1] [dry whisper, after the beat] A sharp cry, peak to peak Dry leaves, one step The pine doesn't answer Cold stays in the bark [Verse 2] [same whisper, after the beat] The cry doesn't come back One breath moves a branch Eyes, then none The dark skips a step [Pre-Chorus] [kick stays, upright stays on D] Not morning. Not yet Blue thins at the edge A step, then nothing Air holds [Chorus] [whisper, after the beat, third lifts F to F-sharp] One gold line On the ridge Not above the clouds The cold doesn't leave [Verse 3] [same whisper, after the beat, third back to F] The stain stays in the grass No second cry October in the bark I don't name the light [Pre-Chorus] [kick stays] Not morning. Not yet Blue thins at the edge A step, then nothing Air holds [Chorus] [whisper, after the beat, third lifts F to F-sharp] One gold line On the ridge Not above the clouds The cold doesn't leave [Outro] [upright and kick, no hats] [dry whisper, after the beat] October evening. The gold line is gone. [hard stop]
