Banjos and Bowed Hearts (Slow Cinematic Steel Guitar Version) (Remastered)

V5.5

[Chorus]
Oh, I have already perished in a thousand silent fears,
Just to keep you unacquainted with the bitterness of tears.
Now I yearn to learn the patience of a softer, gentler art—
Trading all the open ranges for the harbor of your heart.
I was willing to surrender every breath beneath the sun,
Now I choose to live beside you, from the dusk until it's done.

[Verse 2]
You only need to whisper it, and I would scale the height,
And cast a rope of hempen twine to snare the satellite.
For what is earthly territory to a heart so deeply bound?
I’d pull the glowing crescent from the dark sky to the ground.
Let skeptics mock the vanity of such a grand design—
To capture all the cosmos just to lay it at your line.

[Bridge]
Grant me mornings steeped in quiet while the waking world is still,
Grant me evenings where the wildflowers blossom on the hill.
I require no loaded weapon nor a frantic, fleeting pace—
Only the cadence of your breathing and the solace of your grace.

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Yes, I am choosing life...
To taste the very air you breathe.
Every fleeting, precious moment, my love,
From the dusk until the sun.
[Fade Out]

[Verse 1] I have navigated canyons where the shadows softly fall, Kept a silent, steady vigil while the world was hushed and thrall. I have stood between your spirit and the fury of the gale, For your sanctuary guided every compass, every trail. I have cast my life before you through the peril and the test, And would yield it in a heartbeat to secure your quiet rest. [Chorus] Oh, I have already perished in a thousand silent fears, Just to keep you unacquainted with the bitterness of tears. Now I yearn to learn the patience of a softer, gentler art— Trading all the open ranges for the harbor of your heart. I was willing to surrender every breath beneath the sun, Now I choose to live beside you, from the dusk until it's done.
