We're only halfway past the boulder
These pines breathe out a heavy sigh
The trees stand tall just like a soldier
Drowning out the hazy sky
I wander back to the distant cabin
Familiar crunch beneath my feet
The tranquil melody that stays in my head
Just like the sap sticks to my hand
The hours tick by just like the river flows
The cabin walls, engulfed by the day-glow
You would only ever understand
If you were down, down beneath those leaves
This canopy outlined by the moon
And the silence broken by the loon
I want to plant my feet deep in these roots
Surrounded by a thousand campfires soot
The hours tick by just like the river flows
The cabin walls, engulfed by the day-glow
You would only ever understand
If you were down, down beneath those leaves
Oh I know I've got to go
But these melodies I hear
Echo deep into the grove
There's something about these waves
It feels like my second home
And it's where I first learned to grow
Look at the boulder lost in the maze
Oh Alva, adrift upon these waves
