Cold stones, damp wooden beams, the flutter of pigeon wings, musty velvet drapery and the smell of incense resin as the wind blows through cracks in the broken stained glass windows.

Empty stalls, dusty barn doors, hay, green weeds growing through the cracks in the cement aisle, old show ribbons, and a few old tack catalogs.

Peeling painted wrought iron, stacks of ceramic pots, glass panes warmed by the sun, little mushrooms growing from piles of potting soil, a few succulents and a lonely blooming orchid that thrive despite the neglect.

The video for this song is incredibly powerful and moving and I urge you to go watch it."
