Prompt:

[Verse 1] I wake where the pines lean in Cold air on my skin Moss on the window ledge Tea in a chipped white tin The whole hill feels alive With a pale gold shine Your hand in my hand And the day feels kind [Pre-Chorus] Slow breath Open wide We let the silence Walk beside [Chorus] Pine Ridge morning Hold us near Pine Ridge morning Bright and clear Lay the hard weight down Let it fade Pine Ridge morning We’re okay [Verse 2] The deer step soft through the ferns Just beyond the rail A blue cup by the sink And a woodsmoke trail You laugh at the sleepy crow On the split-rail fence We’ve got nowhere to be And it makes perfect sense [Pre-Chorus] Slow breath Open wide We let the silence Walk beside [Chorus] Pine Ridge morning Hold us near Pine Ridge morning Bright and clear Lay the hard weight down Let it fade Pine Ridge morning We’re okay [Bridge] If the road comes calling We’ll go later For now the creek keeps talking And the sun climbs higher [Chorus] Pine Ridge morning Hold us near Pine Ridge morning Bright and clear Lay the hard weight down Let it fade Pine Ridge morning We’re okay
