Owen Howes - Woodsmoke and Sawdust

Song written and performed by Owen Howes. Film and tracking done by Eli Gilbert. Mix by Dan Caron
Lyrics:
Woodsmoke and sawdust the sun in the pines
Things in her soul settle deep in my mind
She can build a world without even trying
Opens her mouth and the stars fall in line
Uncharted islands and mountains unclimbed
She rides on the updrafts and drifts on the tides
Alone in these woods where the crickets keep time
I can hold her close but that voice wont be mine
Honey would you mind if I stayed here with you
I've been out there trying to be what you do
Theres something youre holding I know I cant keep
You could make a stone split open
And weep
Stumbling through brambles half frantic and lost
Toss me a line I dont care what it costs
Everything I do feels half hearted and false
Out here pretending I'm bearing a cross
When something you sung it reminds me to pause
Breathe in the river, bathe in the moss
Rattling through life like a spoon in a pot
Cant hear a thing when I'm neck deep in thought
Honey would you mind if I stayed here with you
I've been out there trying to be what you do
Something youre holding I know I cant keep
You could make a stone split open
And weep
This aint about sides it's a whole different coin
We sing alone someone else joins
Voice echoes in from some other room
And I'm swimming up the chimney just vapor and fumes
Dust in the sunlight swept up by your broom
Crying on the lake with a chorus of loons
Whenever it ended it ended too soon
Honey would you mind if I stayed here with you
I've been out there trying to be what you do
Something youre holding I know I cant keep
You could make a stone split open x 3
And weep
