The Amber Current

[Intro]
[Verse]
Down where the ferns lean low
Where the amber currents flow
Cedar shadows start to grow
In the valley that we know
Golden light on silver wings
Hear the song the water sings
[Pre-Chorus]
Take your heavy boots away
Leave the ghost of yesterday
Step into the shallow blue
Something old is feeling new
[Chorus]
Fireflies light up the dark
Finding every hidden spark
Creek is holding all my years
Washing out the salt and fears
Green and deep and softly still
Bending to the mountain’s will
I am forgiven by the stone
I am never quite alone
[Verse]
Found the cairn I built before
By the rotted sycamore
Moss has covered up the door
To the secrets on the floor
Ten years gone or maybe more
Washed upon this quiet shore
[Pre-Chorus]
Take your heavy boots away
Leave the ghost of yesterday
Step into the shallow blue
Something old is feeling new
[Chorus]
Fireflies light up the dark
Finding every hidden spark
Creek is holding all my years
Washing out the salt and fears
Green and deep and softly still
Bending to the mountain’s will
I am forgiven by the stone
I am never quite alone
[Bridge]
I see her standing there
Wild ribbons in her hair
Looking for a sign of me
Underneath the willow tree
Time is just a circle line
Braided like a summer vine
[Chorus]
Fireflies light up the dark
Finding every hidden spark
Creek is holding all my years
Washing out the salt and fears
Green and deep and softly still
Bending to the mountain’s will
I am forgiven by the stone
I am never quite alone
[Post-Chorus]
Golden hour, stay a while
Mirroring a younger smile
Golden hour, hold the light
Before the middle of the night
[Outro]
