Golden Hollow

[Intro]
[Verse]
The screen door gives a familiar whine
Just like it did in ninety-nine
The grass is tall around my knees
Dancing with the dusty breeze
I walk the path I used to know
Where the wilder clover used to grow
[Pre-Chorus]
Chipped mason jars on the porch
Carrying a fading torch
I smell the sugar in the heat
Every memory tastes so sweet
[Chorus]
Oh, the sun-warmed peaches on the vine
I can almost see you fine
In the golden hollow of the day
You never really went away
Just a whisper in the leaves
Rolling up your cotton sleeves
[Post-Chorus]
Golden hollow, honey light
Everything is gonna be alright
Golden hollow, honey light
Everything is gonna be alright
[Verse]
Old bark is peeling off the trunk
Where the garden tools are sunk
I reached inside a hollow knot
Found the secret piece I sought
Just a scrap of yellowed lines
Tangled in the creeping vines
[Pre-Chorus]
Paper crumpled, thin and gray
Words from a forgotten day
Your handwriting is shaky gold
A story that was never told
[Chorus]
Oh, the sun-warmed peaches on the vine
I can almost see you fine
In the golden hollow of the day
You never really went away
Just a whisper in the leaves
Rolling up your cotton sleeves
[Bridge]
It said "I'll leave the light on for you"
"Everything I did was for you"
Now the orchard's wild and free
But you're still looking out for me
[Solo]
[Verse]
I bite into the fuzzy skin
Let the summer juice run thin
The pit is heavy in my hand
Planting roots back in this land
I hear you in the morning dove
Signed with all your quiet love
[Chorus]
Oh, the sun-warmed peaches on the vine
I can almost see you fine
In the golden hollow of the day
You never really went away
Just a whisper in the leaves
Rolling up your cotton sleeves
[Post-Chorus]
Golden hollow, honey light
Everything is gonna be alright
Golden hollow, honey light
Everything is gonna be alright
[Outro]
