Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Morning came quiet

Like a held breath

I touched the old scar

And remembered the rest

The kettle still sang

In the next room there

But my hands went cold

At the edge of the chair

[Pre-Chorus]

So I name the day

And I let it pass

One soft footstep

Then another at last

[Chorus]

Hold the heather

Hold me near

This old pain

Can live right here

Hold the heather

Don’t let go

I am still here

I am still home

[Verse 2]

There was a doorway

I would not cross

There was a voice in me

That got lost

But the window was open

On the lambing field

And the earth kept turning

And the wound can heal

[Pre-Chorus]

So I breathe in slow

Through the rising sting

I don’t have to fight

Every remembered thing

[Chorus]

Hold the heather

Hold me near

This old pain

Can live right here

Hold the heather

Don’t let go

I am still here

I am still home

[Bridge]

If the dark comes back

With its heavy name

I will light one candle

I will speak my name

Let the tears come on

Like the rain that knows

Even broken ground

Still grows

[Final Chorus]

Hold the heather

Hold me near

This old pain

Can live right here

Hold the heather

Don’t let go

I am still here

I am still home

Hold the heather

Soft and slow

I am still here

I am still home
