Ben Howard - Old Pine lyrics
[Ben Howard - Old Pine lyrics]
Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags
I've come to know that memories
Were the best things you ever had
The summer shone, beat down on bony backs
So far from home, where the ocean stood
Down dust and pine cone tracks
We slept like dogs down by the fire side
Awoke to the fog where all around us
The boom of summertime
We stood steady as the stars in the woods
So happy hearted and the warmth
Rang true inside these bones
And as the old pine fell we sang
Just to bless the morning
Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags
I've come to know the friends around you
Are all you'll always have
Smoke in my lungs, the echoed stone
Careless and young
Free as the birds that fly
With weightless souls
We stood steady as the stars in the woods
So happy hearted and the warmth
Rang true inside these bones we stood
Steady as the stars in the woods
So happy hearted and the warmth
Rang true inside these bones
And as the old pine fell we sang
Just to bless the morning
We grow, grow steady as the morning
Here we grow, grow older still
We grow, grow happy as a new dawn
Grow, grow older still
We grow, grow steady as the flowers
Here we grow, grow older still
We grow, grow happy as a new dawn
Grow, grow older still
Ooh, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Ooh, oh oh oh, yeah yeah yeah
I've come to know that memories
Were the best things you ever had
The summer shone, beat down on bony backs
So far from home, where the ocean stood
Down dust and pine cone tracks
We slept like dogs down by the fire side
Awoke to the fog where all around us
The boom of summertime
We stood steady as the stars in the woods
So happy hearted and the warmth
Rang true inside these bones
And as the old pine fell we sang
Just to bless the morning
Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags
I've come to know the friends around you
Are all you'll always have
Smoke in my lungs, the echoed stone
Careless and young
Free as the birds that fly
With weightless souls
We stood steady as the stars in the woods
So happy hearted and the warmth
Rang true inside these bones we stood
Steady as the stars in the woods
So happy hearted and the warmth
Rang true inside these bones
And as the old pine fell we sang
Just to bless the morning
We grow, grow steady as the morning
Here we grow, grow older still
We grow, grow happy as a new dawn
Grow, grow older still
We grow, grow steady as the flowers
Here we grow, grow older still
We grow, grow happy as a new dawn
Grow, grow older still
Ooh, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Ooh, oh oh oh, yeah yeah yeah
