Mie dy liooar **Lyrics and lyric/song structure written and created by π» GHOST π»** [intro β bright & steady, fiddle reels with plucky banjo under] stone by stone, the road unwinds past the hedgerows, past the signs a strangerβs face, a nod, a grin another day, iβm moving in [verse 1 β rhythmic & warm, banjo leads with light guitar] i left the town before first light boots still damp from the rain last night the bakerβs boy was sweeping in he waved me on with a flour-stained grin the fields rolled out in a patchwork hue a woman called, βthereβs a pot for youβ her kettle hummed, her stories ran of the land she loved, and the son sheβd planned [chorus β full and lively, layered harmonies] and i go where the road will bend through a gate, to a turn, to a laneβs dead end if i find one place that feels like mine iβll lay my coat, iβll stop in time [verse 2 β faster lift, fiddle weaving through phrases] in carrick town, i shared a meal with a masonβs hand and a gamblerβs deal they spoke of floods and winters hard and the stories they kept in their own backyards a blacksmithβs 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 β softer, intimate banjo and low fiddle drone] each roof iβve passed has a fire inside each voice iβve met holds a piece of pride but a homeβs not given, itβs slowly earned in the place where your feet decide to turn [final chorus β bigger, more joyful, communal feel] and i go where the road will bend through a gate, to a turn, to a laneβs dead end if i find one place that feels like mine iβll lay my coat, iβll stop in time [outro β fiddle reel eases into quiet, footsteps fading] stone by stone, the road unwinds and waits for me, when i change my mind
