Track Insight / Lyrics
You stand where the Pinus grows
Where the heavy loam wind blows
Wooden bow on maple grain
Sings a song to stop the rain
Hold the violin so tight
Under poles of electric light
Gold and amber, humming low
Where the wilder needles grow
Sift the soil with open hand
Rooted in the sandy land
Touch the spruce and feel the beat
Where the moss and metal meet
Hold the violin so tight
Under poles of electric light
Gold and amber, humming low
Where the wilder needles grow
Listen to the xylem flow
While the heavy currents glow
Listen to the sap run deep
While the dormant seedlings sleep
Hold the violin so tight
Under poles of electric light
Gold and amber, humming low
Where the wilder needles grow
Copper wires hum a tune
Underneath a pale white moon
Rosin dust on velvet black
Bringing every rhythm back
Wait for the slow root to bend
Wait for the long day to end
Deep in the peat, dark and cold
Turning the copper to gold
Scent of cedar, smell of pine
Tracing out a jagged line
Watch the resin start to drip
Feel the steady rhythm slip
Hold the violin so tight
Under poles of electric light
Gold and amber, humming low
Where the wilder needles grow
Gold and amber, humming low
Where the wilder needles grow
