Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Morning coffee tastes different now
Can't seem to get up before dawn
Something's missing in the barn beyond
Where that old leather's gathering storm
Used to wake up with a purpose clear
Now I just stare through the window pane
Footsteps heavy on the wooden floor
Leading nowhere special anymore
[Chorus]
That old leather's gathering dust
On a rack against the wall
Some things weren't meant to last
But I keep them through it all
[Verse 2]
Remember racing through the summer fields
Your boots still sitting by the door
Empty sugar cubes in crystal bowls
And hay that ain't been touched before
These calluses are fading fast
From hands that used to know their way
Around the straps and weathered brass
Of memories I can't replace
[Chorus]
That old leather's gathering dust
On a rack against the wall
Some things weren't meant to last
But I keep them through it all
[Bridge]
Sometimes I walk out to the fence
Stand there till the sun goes down
Muscle memory's a funny thing
When what you're looking for ain't around
[Verse 3]
The grass has grown too tall out back
Where hoofprints used to mark the ground
Got no reason now to cut it back
Just let it grow and turn to brown
Every morning feels like Sunday now
Quiet spreads across the land
Time moves different when you're learning how
To hold onto what slips through your hands
[Chorus]
That old leather's gathering dust
On a rack against the wall
Some things weren't meant to last
But I keep them through it all
