[Verse 1]
I went into the pines
Where the shadows stretch long
Left the road behind
Where I didn’t belong
The wind whispered low
Like an old
Aching song
Told me to let go
Told me I was wrong
[Chorus]
The waves
They calm me
But the mountains save me
A wild heart mended
Where the peaks rise bravely
Lost my mind to the trees
Found my soul in the sky
The waves
They calm me
But the mountains save my life
[Verse 2]
There’s a stillness in the moss
A wisdom in the stone
The river talks in riddles
When I’m there alone
I laid my burdens down
Where the cold streams moan
The earth holds my sorrow
Calls it her own
[Chorus]
The waves
They calm me
But the mountains save me
A wild heart mended
Where the peaks rise bravely
Lost my mind to the trees
Found my soul in the sky
The waves
They calm me
But the mountains save my life
[Bridge]
Oh
The wind took my secrets
Scattered them wide
The clouds held my tears
The stars never lied
In the cradle of the hills
I could finally confide
What I couldn’t carry
What I tried to hide
[Chorus]
The waves
They calm me
But the mountains save me
A wild heart mended
Where the peaks rise bravely
Lost my mind to the trees
Found my soul in the sky
The waves
They calm me
But the mountains save my life
