[Verse 1] The orchard knew before I did The shape your shadow made It bent the boughs above the path And softened into shade The leaves were speaking lower then The wind forgot to run As if the trees had held their breath And waited for the sun [Refrain] Come where the orchard knows you Where every root runs deep Where even winter holds you And nothing has to leave [Verse 2] I buried grief beneath the pear I fed it to the rain By spring the branches flowered white And never spoke its name You came like weather through the leaves No thunder, only truth And all the fruit I thought had died Turned golden at the root [Refrain] Come where the orchard knows you Where every root runs deep Where even winter holds you And nothing has to leave [Bridge] If seasons take the bloom away If branches bare their bones The wind will still remember us In every seed it sows [Final Refrain] Come where the orchard knows you Where every root runs deep Where love is not a chain around you But soil beneath your feet Where autumn lays its gold down Where spring returns the green Come where the orchard knows you And rest here next to me
