Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Floorboards creak in the dark Four AM is a lonely spark Breath turns white in the hall Winter’s back for one last call I check the glass on the porch Checking lines with a heavy torch [Pre-Chorus] Grandpa said keep the blade low Watch the way the branches grow He’s gone but the wood remains Deep inside of my heavy veins [Chorus] It’s a simple life Beyond the worry and the strife The frost didn’t take the white Of the blossoms in the night Just a man And a piece of ground Where the greatest gifts are found Knowing that the work is done [Verse] Kitchen light starts to glow Walking back through the orchard row Maple syrup and a cast iron pan She smiles at her tired man “Are they safe?” she softly asks Folding up the morning tasks [Pre-Chorus] I just nod and take a seat Feeling all that kitchen heat The petals held their breath today The cold just went another way [Chorus] It’s a simple life Beyond the worry and the strife The frost didn’t take the white Of the blossoms in the night Just a man And a piece of ground Where the greatest gifts are found Knowing that the work is done [Bridge] Vermont hills keep the secrets well More stories than a man can tell From the sapling to the heavy bough I’m the one who holds it now Four lifetimes in a single tree That’s enough for a soul like me [Hook] Constancy is a quiet grace Written on this weathered face Constancy is a quiet grace Written on this weathered face [Chorus] It’s a simple life Beyond the worry and the strife The frost didn’t take the white Of the blossoms in the night Just a man And a piece of ground Where the greatest gifts are found Knowing that the work is done [Outro]
