Lyrics

[Verse]
Down by the creek where the willows bend
There's a secret place where the echoes send
A call through the mountains
The whisper's clear
Of lives long gone
But they linger near

[Verse 2]
The banjo rings like the rain on stone
Telling tales of hearts once left alone
The cicadas hum
A companion tune
Beneath the watch of a hungover moon

[Chorus]
Oh
The lonesome holler echoes my plea
Where the wind and the pine
They speak to me
Memories and shadows
They twist and sway
In the riddle of the hills at the close of day

[Verse 3]
The cabin’s worn
Just a roof of bark
Its walls are tattoos of life and spark
The firelight flickers
A dance of old
Tying threads of stories to the soul untold

[Bridge]
Feel the strum of time in the mountain’s breast
Ripples of the past that never rest
Each tree and stone has a name to sing
In the holler's hymn where the echoes cling

[Chorus]
Oh
The lonesome holler echoes my plea
Where the wind and the pine
They speak to me
Memories and shadows
They twist and sway
In the riddle of the hills at the close of day
