Grounded Pine

[Verse 1] Left the kitchen window opened wide To catch the cedar air along the tide The wooden floor is cold beneath my feet A kettle humming low across the heat [Chorus] Hold the quiet while the morning clears All the weight we carried through the years Rooted softly where the shadows lean Under branches of the grounded pine [Verse 2] Dust is floating in the slanted light Washed the linen clean of yesterday's night Nothing broken that we cannot mend Just a turning at the garden end
