Roots In The Quiet Wind

[Verse 1] Moss on the stones Keeps counting the years Spiderweb phone lines Holding old tears River writes softly In curves, never straight Teaches me patience To linger, not race [Chorus] Nature knows my name Says it low, says it plain (ohh) Every leaf, every grain Carries quiet, carries flame When I lean and listen in I remember where I’ve been All the answers in my skin Nature knows my name [Verse 2] Clouds change their faces But travel as one Shade over wheat fields Still feeding the sun Roots talk in whispers Beneath dusty feet Trading their secrets In silence so deep [Chorus] Nature knows my name Says it low, says it plain (yeah) Every leaf, every grain Carries quiet, carries flame When I lean and listen in I remember where I’ve been All the answers in my skin Nature knows my name [Bridge] Wind in the branches Keeps asking, “What’s true?” I breathe out my questions It breathes me back through (ohh) [Chorus] Nature knows my name Says it low, says it plain Every leaf, every grain Carries quiet, carries flame When I lean and listen in I remember where I’ve been All the answers in my skin Nature knows my name
