Monteleone Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The chisels are calling
It's time to make sawdust
Steely reminders of things left to do
Monteleone, a mandolin's waiting for you

[Verse 2]
My finger planes working
Gentle persuasion
I bend to the wood and I coax it to sing
Monteleone, your new one and only will ring
Monteleone, your new one and only will ring

[Bridge]
The rain on the window, the snow on the gravel
The seasons go by to the songs in the wood
Too quick or too careless, it all could unravel
It so easily could

[Verse 3]
The chisels are calling
It's back for an encore
Back to the shavings that cover the floor
Monteleone, they're calling for more
Monteleone, they're calling for more
