Gravel And Gold

Tail lights fading down the lane

Boots still wet from yesterday's rain

Radio low, your voice even lower

Nothing left to lose or explain

Long road, hard year

But the porch light's on and you are here

Some things don't need saying

Some things you just know

When the right door opens

You stop needing the road

This is gravel and gold

Young and growing old

Every mile it took

To find where I belong

Not the chase, not the climb

Not the highways left behind

Just your hands, just this house

Just this love

Gravel and gold

Never asked me where I'd been

Never counted all my in betweens

Just made coffee, made space

Made it easy to be seen

Run hard from better things

But not this, never this

Some things don't need saying

Some things just hold

Like the way you find me

When I'm running cold

I thought the horizon

Was always where I had to be

Turns out the whole time I was chasing

Home was here waiting on me

Done running

Done chasing

Done looking

Already found

This is gravel and gold

Young and growing old

Every mile it took

To find where I belong

Not the chase, not the climb

Not the highways left behind

Just your hands, just this house

Just this love

Gravel and gold
