The Gold Thread

Verse 1)

‎The alarm is silent, the sun is just a gold thread

‎Woven through the curtains, dancing on the bed

‎No rush to the city, no noise in the hall

‎Just the sound of the morning, the distant bird call

‎I’m letting the coffee steam rise in the air

‎Leaving the weight and the worry right there.

‎(Chorus)

‎It’s a peaceful life, where the water runs still

‎A quiet heart, and a steadying will

‎No mountains to move, no races to run

‎Just me and the shadow, and the soft-rising sun

‎I’m finding the rhythm in the slow, easy breath

‎A peaceful life is where I’m resting my head.

‎(Verse 2)

‎The phone’s on the table, the screen is turned down

‎I’ve walked far away from the buzz of the town

‎My hands in the garden, the soil on my skin

‎Knowing exactly where "enough" should begin

‎There’s no need to shouting to prove that I’m here

‎When the truth is a whisper that finally sounds clear.

‎(Bridge)

‎I used to think "bigger" was the only way through

‎That "more" was the magic that would make me feel new

‎But "less" is the garden where the quiet things grow

‎And "now" is the only place I need to go.

‎(Chorus)

‎It’s a peaceful life, where the water runs still

‎A quiet heart, and a steadying will

‎No mountains to move, no races to run

‎Just me and the shadow, and the soft-rising sun

‎I’m finding the rhythm in the slow, easy breath

‎A peaceful life is where I’m resting my head.

‎(Outro)

‎Slow down, baby, slow down

‎Don’t make a sound

‎Let your soul like a river flow

‎And finally, just let go.
