These hands are maps of every I paid in grease And cedar in the choices that I made I built the roof so high the sky felt small Now there's nothing but the echoes in the hall A porch light burning for a ghost who never came I carved the future, and I forgot my name Oh, the harvest Moon is cold and the table's wide With all that love, I have nowhere to hide I traded every sunrise just to see them bloom Now I'm just a shadow in an empty room They sent me pictures of a different kind of life Far from the friction and the grind of all this strife They took the keys and they didn't look behind Leaving all my heavy years for me to find My spirit's calloused like a wood I used to hear Now there's nothing left to show for what I do Oh, the hot Moon is cold and the table's wide With all that love I had, nowhere to hide I trained every sunrise just to see them blue Now I'm just a shadow in an empty room Hear the thunder in the distance Hear it coming for my soul Hear the truth inside the sacrifice Hear it taking its final toll Oh, the harvest Moon is cold and the tables were Now just the shadow in an empty room Just the, and the dead and the things I didn't say yet
