Softest Thing I Know

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

April found me half asleep

The window cracked an inch

You called my name across the lawn

Like the morning needed proof

I stumbled down the wooden stairs

Barefoot on the wet grass

Pre-Chorus

And the dogwood bloomed

And the creek ran high

And I knew right then

Chorus

You are the softest thing I know

You are the softest thing I know

The whole hillside leaning into you

Verse 2

We drove out past the orchard fence

The radio half broke

You hummed along to nothing much

Just the hum of wheels and wind

I watched your hand out in the air

Catching every shade of green

Pre-Chorus

And the hawthorn stirred

And the sky went pink

And I thought oh no

Chorus

You are the softest thing I know

You are the softest thing I know

The whole hillside leaning into you

Bridge

Let the season do its slow work

Let the rain decide

I will be here

I will be here

Chorus

You are the softest thing I know

You are the softest thing I know

The whole hillside leaning into you

(Leaning into you)
