Drift Like Branches

Verse 1

Rain on the window

Steam on the glass

I watch the river pull the daylight past

Every stone I carried

Now worn to sand

The current knows my name

It understands

Pre-Chorus

Let the water take what's mine

Let the current find its line

Chorus

I'm drifting like the branches

That fall into the stream

I'm fading like the colors

That once burned in my dreams

And the forest keeps its secrets

In the moss beneath the bark

I'm still learning how to listen

In the quiet and the dark

Verse 2

The old oak is leaning

Toward the fading sun

Its roots have held the winters

Till the winters come undone

I count the rings in silence

The years I left behind

Every scar a story

Every storm a kind of sign

Pre-Chorus

Let the thunder roll away

Let the morning find the day

Chorus

I'm drifting like the branches

That fall into the stream

I'm fading like the colors

That once burned in my dreams

And the forest keeps its secrets

In the moss beneath the bark

I'm still learning how to listen

In the quiet and the dark

Bridge

Sparrows over rooftops

Heading for the pines

Nothing here is hurried

Nothing here is mine

The pine needles are falling

The sky turns soft and grey

I'll trade the heavy questions

For a lighter way to stay

Chorus

I'm drifting like the branches

That fall into the stream

I'm fading like the colors

That once burned in my dreams

And the forest keeps its secrets

In the moss beneath the bark

I'm still learning how to listen

In the quiet and the dark
