Dappled Light

[Intro]
[Verse]
Chipped ceramic mugs on the shelf
Dusty shadows of my former self
Fern fronds brushing the screen door
Soft pine needles on the floor
Sunlight dancing on the wood
Everything felt understood
[Verse]
Half-finished knit afghan there
Draped across the wicker chair
Weathered porch swing creaking slow
Rhythms that I used to know
Mossy stones and cedar bark
Staying out until the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
Wait for the wind to sigh
Underneath the emerald sky
It's a whisper from the past
A moment never meant to last
[Chorus]
Oh, the dappled light
Holding on so tight
To the summers in the trees
Floating on a mountain breeze
It’s a gentle kind of ache
For the memories we make
In the quiet of the green
The sweetest life I’ve ever seen
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, the pine wind blows
Ooh, ooh, where the river flows
Ooh, ooh, the cedar grows
Ooh, ooh, heaven only knows
[Verse]
Hear the echo of a song
Where the wild things all belong
Grandma singing off the key
Just a simple melody
Carried through the ancient boughs
Breaking all the silent vows
[Pre-Chorus]
Wait for the wind to sigh
Underneath the emerald sky
It's a whisper from the past
A moment never meant to last
[Chorus]
Oh, the dappled light
Holding on so tight
To the summers in the trees
Floating on a mountain breeze
It’s a gentle kind of ache
For the memories we make
In the quiet of the green
The sweetest life I’ve ever seen
[Bridge]
No photos of the way it felt
Before the winter snow would melt
Just the smell of rain on slate
Swinging on the garden gate
Every stitch and every thread
Everything that went unsaid
[Chorus]
Oh, the dappled light
Holding on so tight
To the summers in the trees
Floating on a mountain breeze
It’s a gentle kind of ache
For the memories we make
In the quiet of the green
The sweetest life I’ve ever seen
[Outro]
