Ben Howard - Old Pine Lyrics
Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags,I've come to know that memoriesWere the best things you ever hadThe summer shone beat down on bony backsSo far from home where the ocean stoodDown dust and pine cone tracksWe slept like dogs down by the fire sideAwoke to the fog all around usThe boom of summer time[Chorus]We stoodSteady as the stars in the woodsSo happy-heartedAnd the warmth rang true inside these bonesAs the old pine fell we sangJust to bless the morning.Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags,I've come to know the friends around youAre all you'll always haveSmoke in my lungs, or the echoed stoneCareless and young, free as the birds that flyWith weightless souls now.[Chorus x2]We stoodSteady as the stars in the woodsSo happy-heartedAnd the warmth rang true inside these bonesWe stoodSteady as the stars in the woodsSo happy-heartedAnd the warmth rang true inside these bonesAs the old pine fell we sangJust to bless the morning.We grow, grow, steady as the morningWe grow, grow, older stillWe grow, grow, happy as a new dawnWe grow, grow, older stillWe grow, grow, steady as the flowersWe grow, grow, older stillWe grow, grow, happy as a new dawnWe grow, grow, older still
