The Golden Cycle

[Intro]
[Verse]
Salt air in the doorway
Sunlight starts to fade away
Metal drums begin to spin
Letting all the evening in
Coins are clicking in the slot
Give it everything I've got
[Pre-Chorus]
Dust is dancing in the gold
Stories that the linens hold
I am watching time go slow
Nowhere else I need to go
[Chorus]
It’s the quiet in the hum
Knowing where I started from
I don’t need the mountain top
I just want the world to stop
Faded sheets and warm design
Everything is feeling fine
Smallest things are all I need
Planting every little seed
[Post-Chorus]
Just the spin
Let it in
Where I’ve been
Peace again
[Verse]
Cotton smelling like the rain
Softening the hidden strain
Worn out edges, blue and white
Catching all the harbor light
I was chasing distant stars
Missing what was truly ours
[Pre-Chorus]
Dust is dancing in the gold
Stories that the linens hold
I am watching time go slow
Nowhere else I need to go
[Chorus]
It’s the quiet in the hum
Knowing where I started from
I don’t need the mountain top
I just want the world to stop
Faded sheets and warm design
Everything is feeling fine
Smallest things are all I need
Planting every little seed
[Bridge]
Let the big dreams drift away
I am happy here to stay
In the steam and in the glow
This is all I need to know
Every breath is like a prayer
Floating in the coastal air
[Verse]
I see the horizon line
Waiting for the perfect sign
But it’s right here in my hand
More than I had ever planned
[Chorus]
It’s the quiet in the hum
Knowing where I started from
I don’t need the mountain top
I just want the world to stop
Faded sheets and warm design
Everything is feeling fine
Smallest things are all I need
Planting every little seed
[Post-Chorus]
Just the spin
Let it in
Where I’ve been
Peace again
[Outro]
