Jasmine Wind

[Intro]
[Verse]
The iron gate is rusted shut
I cut through the tall grass
A decade in a single rut
Watching all the seasons pass
Your porch swing is a skeleton
Stripped bare by the summer sun
I’m looking for the girl I was
Before the damage was all done
[Pre-Chorus]
I wore that guilt like a heavy coat
A bitter song in every note
But the golden light is breaking through
Turning old gray skies to blue
[Chorus]
Oh, let the jasmine carry the pain
Wash away the salt and the stain
I’m standing where the wild things grow
Finally letting the heavy things go
Can you hear the children play?
Far away in the fading day
I’m finding grace in the weeds
I’m planting all the better seeds
[Post-Chorus]
Let it blow, let it go
Down where the wild flowers grow
Let it blow, let it go
Everything I need to know
[Verse]
I broke the table, split the wood
Did the only thing I could
They called it pride, I called it breath
A living kind of quiet death
But your roses still survived the frost
Nothing beautiful is ever truly lost
I see your shadow in the vines
Between the porch and the pines
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m breathing in the evening air
I’m finding mercy everywhere
The Wurlitzer is playing in my head
Every word that we never said
[Chorus]
Oh, let the jasmine carry the pain
Wash away the salt and the stain
I’m standing where the wild things grow
Finally letting the heavy things go
Can you hear the children play?
Far away in the fading day
I’m finding grace in the weeds
I’m planting all the better seeds
[Bridge]
I forgive the girl I used to be
For every bridge she had to burn
To find the woman standing here
With nothing left to learn
Except how to be free
Yeah, just how to be me!
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, let the jasmine carry the pain
Wash away the salt and the stain
I’m standing where the wild things grow
Finally letting the heavy things go
Can you hear the children play?
Far away in the fading day
I’m finding grace in the weeds
I’m planting all the better seeds
[Post-Chorus]
Let it blow, let it go
Down where the wild flowers grow
Let it blow, let it go
Everything I need to know
[Outro]
