Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mist on my lashes
Stone underfoot
Salt on the wind
Like a word I once knew
Names in the road signs
Tilt in my head
Something inside me
Leaning ahead
[Chorus]
I have walked so far to find
I was rooted where I stand
Every breath tastes like a story
Every crow call understands
I don’t know the old language
But it rises in my hands
As I touch this gentle earth
I remember who I am
[Verse 2]
Fields stitched in hedges
Soft, crooked lines
Ruins half-remembered
By ivy and time
Strangers’ eyes linger
Like they’ve met me before
Smile at my accent
Hold open the door
[Chorus]
I have walked so far to find
I was rooted where I stand
Every breath tastes like a story
Every crow call understands
I don’t know the old language
But it rises in my hands
As I touch this gentle earth
I remember who I am
[Bridge]
Not a thunderstrike
Just a quiet “oh”
Like hearing my own laugh
In another room
All the scattered years
Gather in this view
Sky so soft and wide
I feel it looking through
[Chorus]
I have walked so far to find
I was rooted where I stand
Every breath tastes like a story
Every crow call understands
I don’t know the old language
But it rises in my hands
On this cool and faithful shore
I remember who I am
