Lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh the pace of my placed and my lifted foot, the Breath in my lungs, to my lips my tongue spoke Back to the trees, to the ease of my heartbeat Down with the rain, down again and I trod with [Chorus] An ache for the ones who've walked before me And joy for the ones who walk beside me [Verse 2] As I search for the solace the hills might give me Heavy the tread of the dead on the way The path in the rain and the sun won't gleam And the ground is made with death and decay [Chorus] And an echo of the ones who've walked before me And joy for the ones who walk beside me [Bridge] And the beech is lifting me, ash is reaching me Wind is holding me, time is folding me Under the trees, down through the Lea And on to the path that you came to that day My heartbeat quickens, my breath it deepens My footfall falters, your memory's salt To the wound of calling your name is balm To the rain, I see you in forest dreams [Verse 3] Oh the distance gives the ask its answer I rise up tired, but continue my journey There's a light in the window, the first star is here I find just enough peace to make my way home with [Chorus] Sadness for the ones who've walked before me And joy for the ones who walk beside me
