Mie dy liooar **Lyrics and lyric/song structure written and created by 👻 GHOST 👻** [intro – bright & steady, fiddle reels with plucky banjo under] stone by stone, the road unwinds past the hedgerows, past the signs a stranger’s face, a nod, a grin another day, i’m moving in [verse 1 – rhythmic & warm, banjo leads with light guitar] i left the town before first light boots still damp from the rain last night the baker’s boy was sweeping in he waved me on with a flour-stained grin the fields rolled out in a patchwork hue a woman called, “there’s a pot for you” her kettle hummed, her stories ran of the land she loved, and the son she’d planned [chorus – full and lively, layered harmonies] and i go where the road will bend through a gate, to a turn, to a lane’s dead end if i find one place that feels like mine i’ll lay my coat, i’ll stop in time [verse 2 – faster lift, fiddle weaving through phrases] in carrick town, i shared a meal with a mason’s hand and a gambler’s deal they spoke of floods and winters hard and the stories they kept in their own backyards a blacksmith’s forge lit the dusk in red he swore the hills would keep me fed but i kept on while the stars came out with a tune in my step and a mind full of doubt [bridge – softer, intimate banjo and low fiddle drone] each roof i’ve passed has a fire inside each voice i’ve met holds a piece of pride but a home’s not given, it’s slowly earned in the place where your feet decide to turn [final chorus – bigger, more joyful, communal feel] and i go where the road will bend through a gate, to a turn, to a lane’s dead end if i find one place that feels like mine i’ll lay my coat, i’ll stop in time [outro – fiddle reel eases into quiet, footsteps fading] stone by stone, the road unwinds and waits for me, when i change my mind
