The old floorboards creak
With the touch of your feet
The one in the middle
Sings out like a fiddle
And though you're no longer there
It reminds me of times
You'd play me to sleep
Pinewood plank floors
Tell me a story
I'm craving a memory
That I think you know
Holding a place in time
Knitting needle lost 'er mind
The stories never told
Sweep out through the mold
A picture of dust
Settled
Centuries old
Pinewood plank floors
Tell me a story
I'm craving a memory
That I think you know
The Earth sighs a gust of air
Sends a story here to there
And so when I'm missing you
I'll just stop,
slow down and listen
to the floorboards
the floorboards speak
Pinewood plank floors
Tell me a story
I'm craving a memory
That I think you know
The floorboards speak….
