Track Insight / Lyrics
Quercus roots grip gravel tight
Salix sips the twilight air
Mycorrhiza claims the night
Cattail blades catch dying glare
Tackle box rests on crushed stone bed
Float dips slow where minnows fed
Line cuts deep where roots are spread
Hook waits patient, dull and red
Root and river meet below
Where the gravel driveway goes
Fisherman and botanist know
Life grows quiet, life grows slow
Raindrop hits the dusty crown
The worm rises, hook pulls down
Soil drinks the sinking brown
Trout breaks surface, water's crown
Root and river meet below
Where the gravel driveway goes
Fisherman and botanist know
Life grows quiet, life grows slow
Cellulose and scale align
Photosynthesis, fishing line
Both wait for the subtle sign
In twilight's gems, their worlds combine
Evening primrose opens wide
Bobber dances on the tide
Root hairs stretch on every side
Patience waits the eventide
Creel lies empty, heavy with weed
Sedges brush the tired reed
Catch and release, the fisher's creed
Rooted deep, the final deed
Root and river meet below
Where the gravel driveway goes
Fisherman and botanist know
Life grows quiet, life grows slow
Root and river, slow and low
Gravel settles, roots remain
Twilight drinks the river's rain
