The Heather's Hum

[Intro]
[Verse]
Golden sun hits the floor
I open the heavy door
Dust motes dance in the air
Grandmother’s ghost is there
Grey stones hold the heat
Where the earth and sky meet
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear a soft refrain
Through the window pane
A melody long lost
Untouched by the frost
The light begins to fade
In the house she made
[Chorus]
Trace the wool, find the way
In the dying light of day
Voices call from the hill
When the evening is still
Love is woven in the weave
In the things we don't leave
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, the heather’s hum
Now the spirits have come
Oh, the heather’s hum
Where the wild waters run
[Verse]
Fingers touch the old loom
Filling up the empty room
Indigo and heather green
Colors that I’ve always seen
Tangled threads of ancient yarn
Warming up the lonely barn
[Chorus]
Trace the wool, find the way
In the dying light of day
Voices call from the hill
When the evening is still
Love is woven in the weave
In the things we don't leave
[Bridge]
Ancestors breathe in the walls
Echoes in the silent halls
Whispers on the upland breeze
Moving through the rowan trees
Every stitch a sacred prayer
Lingering in the summer air
[Verse]
She sang of the silver tide
With nothing left to hide
I wrap the shawl around me
Finally, I can see
The path back to the start
Beating inside my heart
The story isn't through
It lives inside of you
[Chorus]
Trace the wool, find the way
In the dying light of day
Voices call from the hill
When the evening is still
Love is woven in the weave
In the things we don't leave
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, the heather’s hum
Now the spirits have come
Oh, the heather’s hum
Where the wild waters run
[Outro]
