[Verse 1]
I left the road at dawn
Past the gate and broken stone
Your hand found mine so easy
Like a path that knew our bones
The moss was wet and cool
On the roots where we would stand
A robin cut the quiet
And you leaned into my hand
[Pre-Chorus]
And all the noise fell back
Behind the cedar line
Your breath went soft and slow
Like it was learning mine
[Chorus]
Among the pines
We are fine
Birdsong over our minds
Among the pines
We unwind
Love turns quiet, love turns kind
Among the pines
I am thine
Peace comes down through the twine
Among the pines
We align
Soul to soul and line by line
[Verse 2]
Your laugh shook loose the leaves
From the branch above our heads
We shared a bitten peach
And the juice ran down your wrist
No need to prove a thing
No need to name the ache
Your mouth on my forehead
Made the whole dark body wake
[Pre-Chorus]
And every little scar
Became a softer word
The creek kept on repeating
What the morning heard
[Chorus]
Among the pines
We are fine
Birdsong over our minds
Among the pines
We unwind
Love turns quiet, love turns kind
Among the pines
I am thine
Peace comes down through the twine
Among the pines
We align
Soul to soul and line by line
[Bridge]
Let the sun move slow
Through the needles and the green
Let my heart unlearn
What it thought love had to mean
No rushing, no display
Just your shoulder, just my chest
A holy kind of resting
In the shelter of your breath
[Final Chorus]
Among the pines
We are fine
Birdsong over our minds
Among the pines
We unwind
Love turns quiet, love turns kind
Among the pines
I am thine
Peace comes down through the twine
Among the pines
We align
Soul to soul and line by line
