Full Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse] The frost is retreating from the hollow Leaving silver on the tall fescue grass I buried that heavy stone I used to swallow And watched the ghost of a winter pass The porch swing doesn't creak like it used to When I was counting every shadow on the wall I finally found a porch light worth coming home to A hand to catch me before the autumn fall

[Chorus] So it's hello to the breath in my lungs And it's death to the person I was Goodbye to the bitter songs I've sung Just because, darling, just because The dawn is drinking up the valley mist A slow light climbing through the pines I'm waking up to the life I nearly missed Reading peace between the lines

[Verse] There's a rusted plow out in the north field Deep in the weeds where the wildflowers grow Like the jagged edge of a heart that wouldn't yield Till you planted seeds in the frozen row You don't ask for much, just the morning A quiet cup and the woodsmoke in the air I didn't see the new life forming Until I felt your fingers through my hair

[Chorus] So it's hello to the breath in my lungs And it's death to the person I was Goodbye to the bitter songs I've sung Just because, darling, just because The dawn is drinking up the valley mist A slow light climbing through the pines I'm waking up to the life I nearly missed Reading peace between the lines

[Bridge] Let the grief stay under the cedar roots Let the dry creek bed fill with rain I'm pulling off these weary, worn-out boots And walking clear of all that pouring pain

[Solo]

[Chorus] It's hello to the breath in my lungs And it's death to the person I was Goodbye to the bitter songs I've sung Just because, darling, just because The dawn is drinking up the valley mist A slow light climbing through the pines I'm waking up to the life I nearly missed Reading peace between the lines Goodbye to the dark Hello to the day Watching the winter Just melt away Just melt away Soft as the dawn
