lyrics

Golden grass in the breeze, singing to me
A melody I used to know
Close my eyes, wonder if it’s ever enough to
Live your life in the simple sway of it

To know the truth and be ok with it
Hold it in your hands and walk away from it

I walked away

Summer sun bleeding out to the horizon
Sacrifice we’ve all witnessed before
Close my eyes, wonder if it’s ever enough to
Cast your shadow in the simple sway of it

To know the truth and be ok with it
Hold it in your hands and walk away from it

I walked away

I know the truth and I’m ok with it
Held it in my hands and walked away from it

Fingernails caked with dirt, for whatever any of it’s worth
Anything good in me came from you
Close my eyes, wonder if it’s ever enough to
Live my life just for the sake of it?

For the sake of it
In the sway of it
