Gliding Through Trees

[Verse 1]
The pines are leaning
The wind’s low hum
Shadows stretch where the deer don’t run
A creek carves quiet through the dirt and stone
Whispered secrets of a life unknown

[Chorus]
Oh
Whispered pines
Tell me why
Do you bow your heads when the clouds drift by?
Is it sorrow or just the weight of time?
Oh
Whispered pines
You’re a friend of mine

[Verse 2]
The earth breathes heavy when the sun sinks low
An amber tide
A gilded glow
The air holds stories
But it won’t stay still
It wraps around you
Bends to its will

[Prechorus]
Do you hear it calling
Soft and true?
The world spins slower when it’s only you

[Chorus]
Oh
Whispered pines
Tell me why
Do you bow your heads when the clouds drift by?
Is it sorrow or just the weight of time?
Oh
Whispered pines
You’re a friend of mine

[Bridge]
If I could fold into your roots
Grow tall
Grow quiet
Let go of youth
Would I find peace in the morning dew
Or would the storms still tear me through?
