Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Morning came quiet
Like a held breath
I touched the old scar
And remembered the rest
The kettle still sang
In the next room there
But my hands went cold
At the edge of the chair
[Pre-Chorus]
So I name the day
And I let it pass
One soft footstep
Then another at last
[Chorus]
Hold the heather
Hold me near
This old pain
Can live right here
Hold the heather
Don’t let go
I am still here
I am still home
[Verse 2]
There was a doorway
I would not cross
There was a voice in me
That got lost
But the window was open
On the lambing field
And the earth kept turning
And the wound can heal
[Pre-Chorus]
So I breathe in slow
Through the rising sting
I don’t have to fight
Every remembered thing
[Chorus]
Hold the heather
Hold me near
This old pain
Can live right here
Hold the heather
Don’t let go
I am still here
I am still home
[Bridge]
If the dark comes back
With its heavy name
I will light one candle
I will speak my name
Let the tears come on
Like the rain that knows
Even broken ground
Still grows
[Final Chorus]
Hold the heather
Hold me near
This old pain
Can live right here
Hold the heather
Don’t let go
I am still here
I am still home
Hold the heather
Soft and slow
I am still here
I am still home
