Sawmill Pond

In "Sawmill Pond ", PCBender returns to his roots-both musical and emotional-with a track steeped in nostalgia, reflection, and quiet wonder. Fingerpicked guitar lines ripple like water, while subtle textures evoke the stillness of a hidden place where time seems to slow.

Part memory, part meditation, "Sawmill Pond " is a sonic postcard from a place that may no longer exist, but lives on in the spaces between chords. Intimate, earthy, and hauntingly beautiful, this is PCBender at his most personal-telling stories without saying a word.

Lyrics

I was seventeen with a rust-red truck Dust on my boots, heart full of luck The summer sun lit the water gold At Sawmill Pond, where secrets unfold

She showed up barefoot, hair like flame Said her name soft - I never asked again We dove in deep, both young and strong Carving forever what never felt wrong

Sawmill Pond, where the world stood still Time poured slow like the evening chill Two shadows tangled on a drifting day No map, no rules, just hearts at play I loved her once in the wild and the warm Down by the Sawmill Pond

We talked 'bout stars and leaving town Built castles in mud just to watch 'em drown She kissed like fire, left like rain I never saw her face again

Sawmill Pond, where the echoes stay In ripples of a long-lost day The boy I was still haunts that shore With her laugh caught in the open door I loved her once in the wild and the warm Down by the Sawmill Pond

Now I'm older, lines in my skin Still hear her voice when the night drifts in Regret is gentle, but it never lets go That summer when our hearts burned hot and slow

Sawmill Pond, in the hush of dusk Memory's ghost in a pickup truck Two kids chasing what they couldn't keep Woke something in me I can never repeat I loved her once in the wild and the warm Down by the Sawmill Pond

Yeah, I loved her once At Sawmill Pond
