Seven Years of Gold

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dusty dash, mountain air
Wind is tangled in my hair
G-major on the radio
Forty miles left to go
Freelance deadlines in the rearview
All I want is to be near you
[Pre-Chorus]
Seven years is a heavy ghost
To the one I miss the most
Sun is dipping low and sweet
Tapping rhythm with my feet
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s been a long time coming
Heart is like a banjo humming
Through the pines and the valley floor
Right back to your front door
Honeyed light on the gravel track
Baby, I am finally back
[Post-Chorus]
Finally back
On the gravel track
Finally back
In the honeyed light
[Verse]
Flicking through the polaroid stack
Faded white and glossy black
Peach orchard in the firefly light
We were kings of the summer night
Chipped ceramic lemonade mugs
Sweaty palms and giant hugs
[Pre-Chorus]
Seven years is a heavy ghost
To the one I miss the most
Sun is dipping low and sweet
Tapping rhythm with my feet
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s been a long time coming
Heart is like a banjo humming
Through the pines and the valley floor
Right back to your front door
Honeyed light on the gravel track
Baby, I am finally back
[Bridge]
The city lights were bright and cold
But they never felt like gold
Pixels on a glowing screen
Weren't enough for what we mean
I’ve been drawing out the lines
In between these mountain pines
[Hook]
Seven years, seven years
Washed away all of the fears
Seven years, seven years
Check the mirror through the tears
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s been a long time coming
Heart is like a banjo humming
Through the pines and the valley floor
Right back to your front door
Honeyed light on the gravel track
Baby, I am finally back
[Post-Chorus]
Finally back
On the gravel track
Finally back
In the honeyed light
[Outro]
