[Intro] Mmm—mm—ah, mmm—mm—ah Mmm—mm—ah, under breath, under breath [Verse 1] You left a ribbon on the old stone gate Blue thread caught in the rain I held it close and heard you say Come by the hill again A bowl of apples by the fire A silver cup gone cold Your name was folded in the linen Like a story never told [Pre-Chorus] One voice calls from the heather One voice answers through the trees Then our quiet gathers weather And returns it to the sea [Chorus] Come where the rowan bends Come where the high grass parts I will carry you home again By the map inside our hearts Mmm—mm—ah, we rise and turn Mmm—mm—ah, the old roots learn Every road that the dark wind sends Brings us home again [Verse 2] You found a shell beside the well With a spiral in its face You said the earth remembers us By every hidden place The kettle sang, the window shook The swallows crossed the rain I heard your laughter in the room Before you came again [Pre-Chorus] Low voices hold the ember High voices open wide Middle voices name December Then the whole room turns to tide [Chorus] Come where the rowan bends Come where the high grass parts I will carry you home again By the map inside our hearts Mmm—mm—ah, we rise and turn Mmm—mm—ah, the old roots learn Every road that the dark wind sends Brings us home again [Bridge] Stay for the candle’s final flame Stay till the frost lets go I have a thousand ways to say your name But only one I know Mmm—mm—ah, mmm—mm—ah Low below and high above Mmm—mm—ah, mmm—mm—ah Many breaths become one love [Final Chorus] Come where the rowan bends Come where the high grass parts I will carry you home again By the map inside our hearts Mmm—mm—ah, we rise and turn Mmm—mm—ah, the old roots learn Every road that the dark wind sends Brings us home again [Outro] One voice, then two, then all the air Mmm—mm—ah, we meet you there Mmm—mm—ah, mmm—mm—ah The hill keeps every name
