Lyrics

[Verse]
Up on the ridge where the cold winds hum
'Neath the shadow of a dying sun
Old man shakes with his whistle and tune
Sings to the stars and the waxing moon
[Verse 2]
River runs dark where the moss grows thick
Catches the boots like a candle's wick
Broken bridge sways as the years roll by
Worn like the dreams he let slip and die
[Chorus]
Oh
High hills and hollow pines
Your secrets keep
But your beauty blinds
Echoes whisper
The past won't fade
In these woods where memories stayed
[Verse 3]
Fox in the valley
Her eyes burn gold
She knows the tales that the lost ones told
Feathers in the creek whisper soft
Unseen
Time flows back like the seasons' sheen
[Bridge]
Birch bark letters on the forest floor
Tell of battles fought and a love no more
Shadows deepen
But the firelight burns
Ghosts of the woodland always return
[Verse 4]
Lantern sways
And it lights the trail
Through the heart where the whispers wail
Perhaps there's peace where the mountains climb
Or perhaps it's waiting
Just buying time
