The Jasmine Grain

[Intro]
[Verse]
Twenty years of quiet dust
Jasmine pollen turns to rust
Fingers trace the frozen grain
Echoes of a soft refrain
Sleeping in a velvet bed
Words that I had never said
[Verse]
Seasoned spruce and mountain air
Hiding in its wooden lair
Uncarved bridge and silent strings
Weight of all forgotten things
Amber sap and ancient pine
Waiting for a steady line
[Pre-Chorus]
The sunlight hits the floor
I open up the door
A ghost of who I was
Just because
[Chorus]
Luminous and golden light
Holding on to what is right
Amber tears in wood and bone
Never left to be alone
I find the song again
Where the dreams begin
[Hook]
Oh, the jasmine glow
Soft and slow
[Verse]
Calloused hands and silver wire
Tending to the dying fire
Varnish smells of summer rain
Washing out the old disdain
I was just a girl back then
Holding on to ink and pen
[Pre-Chorus]
The shadows start to fade
The choice that I have made
Is written in the wood
As it should
[Chorus]
Luminous and golden light
Holding on to what is right
Amber tears in wood and bone
Never left to be alone
I find the song again
Where the dreams begin
[Bridge]
Gilded dust in practice rooms
Memories like winter blooms
I was young and so afraid
Of the music that we made
But now I see the grace
In this quiet place
[Chorus]
Luminous and golden light
Holding on to what is right
Amber tears in wood and bone
Never left to be alone
I find the song again
Where the dreams begin
[Post-Chorus]
It’s not too late to start
Healing for the heart
In the jasmine grain
Ending all the pain
[Outro]
