[Verse 1] Muddy knees Pine in my hair Morning fog Breath in the air Cold dew Under bare feet We stole time On that gravel road meet [Chorus] Barefoot until sundown Wild hearts in the long grass We didn't care if the rain came down We just laughed as the clouds ran past Hands stained green From the hills and the hollow tree I thought growing up Meant staying that free [Verse 2] Blue lake Biting our skin Dared each other To jump back in Berries on our tongues Red on our hands Every broken branch Was a map of our plans [Chorus] Barefoot until sundown Wild hearts in the long grass We didn't care if the rain came down We just laughed as the clouds ran past Hands stained green From the hills and the hollow tree I thought growing up Meant staying that free [Bridge] Where did we go Those little ghosts of summer I stand by the road Still waiting on the thunder Close my eyes Hear your voice on the wind (oh) Calling me back again [Chorus] Barefoot until sundown Wild hearts in the long grass You said we'd never let this town Take the sky from our backs Hands stained green From the hills and the hollow tree I close my eyes And I'm still that free

Light fiddle and airy flute weaving countermelodies, subtle frame drum pulse entering on the first chorus. Arrangement starts sparse, blooms on the second chorus with stacked harmonies, then falls back to just guitar and voice on the outro line for a nostalgic hush., nordic folk
