lyrics

The snowmelt is commencing
Earnestly today
Witch hazel graced with songbirds
Red buds bless the gray

The road that you return on
Is the one you drive away
And I don’t know where you get to
And I don’t know what to say

You come back through the darkness
You come back on borrowed wings
You come back from where you’ve been to
Followed by wild things

The rain will wash the salt down
The streams will overflow
The deer gonna shed their antlers
Southern wind will blow
May those shoes that trace the ridgeline
Be the shoes left by the door
And I won’t ask you any questions
I just don’t care to anymore

CHORUS

Meanwhile, in winter loam, crocuses unwind
Bring back all you’re stubborn heart keeps begging you to find
Meanwhile, the porch roof’s loose and lonely melting sound
Is married to the silence of what’s stirring underground

It’s four miles down the mountain
It’s ten mile into town
Between heaven and Big Indian
Beyond the perfect sound
Of a bobcat’s bleeding hunger
Of worlds best left alone
I don’t know where you get to
Just let it lead you home

CHORUS

Many were friends beforehand and some were strangers to each other. But gathering online each week, everyone became intimately acquainted pretty quickly, evolving into an extended musical family. ... more
