Empty Porch Swing

{slow weep of pedal steel guitar} {gentle acoustic fingerpicking} {soft room reverb}

Your empty chair sits by the door

Your heavy boots don't scuff the floor

And I've stopped looking for your keys

(ahhhh) {acoustic guitar and slow upright bass}

It took a year to find the strength

To pack the things you left behind

{brushed snare drum entering} {subtle organ

pad}

I finally let you go

today

I watched the dust-clouds drift away

It hurts so deep inside my chest But I pray you've found

your rest

(mmmmm) {soaring pedal steel and full acoustic arrangement} I kept your picture

in my drawer

I don't look at it anymore

Not 'cause I don't miss your face

But I've accepted this cold space

{mellow acoustic

guitar and soft bass} I finally let you go today

I watched the dust-clouds drift away

It hurts so deep inside my chest But I pray you've found

your rest {full emotional country band}

I'm letting go... (yeah) {acoustic guitar fading

out} {lone pedal steel note dying

down}
