Soft Green Echoes

[Intro]

[soft birds in distance

Then fade under fingerpicked guitar]

[Verse 1]

Sun on the moss

Cold on my hands

Breath like a cloud

Hanging over the land

Spiderweb stairs

Up a fallen pine

I follow the dust

You left in my mind

[Chorus]

Soft green echoes

Calling me through the trees

Every broken branch

Spells your name in the leaves

If I stand so still

I can almost hear you breathe

Soft green echoes

Tangled up in me

[Verse 2]

Boot prints washed

Out by the rain

Only the creek

Remembers your name

Mushrooms rise

Where your fire once burned

Little bright lanterns

Guarding what we learned

[Chorus]

Soft green echoes

Calling me through the trees

Every broken branch

Spells your name in the leaves

If I stand so still

I can almost hear you breathe

Soft green echoes

Tangled up in me

[Bridge]

Maybe you were only

Borrowed from this wild place

Wind keeps turning pages

I still keep your space

[Chorus]

Soft green echoes

Calling me through the trees

Every broken branch

Spells your name in the leaves

If I stand so still

I can almost hear you breathe

Soft green echoes

Tangled up in me (in me)
