Small Unseen Things

[Intro]
[Verse]
I pushed the ivy back today
Where the shadows used to play
Found a piece of blue and gray
Buried in the heavy clay
The ceramic wing was torn
Weathered down and garden-worn
It felt like waking up a ghost
The one that I had missed the most
[Pre-Chorus]
The air felt thin and cold
Like a story left untold
I felt the weight of years
And the salt of quiet tears
[Chorus]
Wait for the wings to come
Wait for the morning hum
Love is a quiet art
Kept in a steady heart
She said the magic grows
In the seeds that no one knows
[Post-Chorus]
Just wait
Just stay
Don't let it slip away
[Verse]
She’d fill the bowl with silver seed
Planting every word I’d need
“Listen to the wind,” she’d say
“Don’t you wish the time away”
Now the feeder’s in my hand
In this wild and tangled land
The paint is flaking off the side
Where the garden used to hide
[Pre-Chorus]
The air felt thin and cold
Like a story left untold
I felt the weight of years
And the salt of quiet tears
[Chorus]
Wait for the wings to come
Wait for the morning hum
Love is a quiet art
Kept in a steady heart
She said the magic grows
In the seeds that no one knows
[Hook]
Small unseen things
Small unseen things
The weight that the winter brings
The song that the spirit sings
[Bridge]
The roots remember every name
The seasons change but stay the same
A chipped and broken little bird
Speaks the truth I finally heard
It’s in the showing up
In the filling of the cup
[Chorus]
Wait for the wings to come
Wait for the morning hum
Love is a quiet art
Kept in a steady heart
She said the magic grows
In the seeds that no one knows
[Post-Chorus]
Just wait
Just stay
Don't let it slip away
[Break]
[Verse]
I’ll hang it from the cedar limb
While the afternoon grows dim
I’ll watch the sparrows start to fly
Underneath the amber sky
She is in the rustling leaves
In the breath the forest heaves
Nothing is ever truly lost
No matter what the winter cost
[Outro]
