Dawn of Julian Woods

[Intro] (Soft wind hums, leaves rustle) [Verse 1] Dawn spills thin over Julian stone Mist weaves lace where the pines have grown New leaves uncurl like secrets told To the cliff that’s held the cold so long I trace the bark of a birch’s bone Kalimba hums where the ferns have blown A temple’s spire, a distant throne In the hush where the wild things belong [Chorus] Oh, Slovenian breath, the forest’s song Harp strings kiss the dawn’s first tongue No drum beats loud, no hurried wrong Just the mist that carries us along Ancient stones and new leaves young Serene and mystic, all day long [Verse 2] I cup the dew from a maple’s palm Harp sighs low where the shadows calm Wind carries scents of clover’s balm To the temple where the old gods charm The cliff looks out on a endless blue Kalimba trills what the mist can’t do New leaves dance in a hazy hue As the world wakes soft, just me and you [Chorus] Oh, Slovenian breath, the forest’s song Harp strings kiss the dawn’s first tongue No drum beats loud, no hurried wrong Just the mist that carries us along Ancient stones and new leaves young Serene and mystic, all day long [Bridge] The temple’s bells, they don’t ring loud They hum in the earth, in the mossy shroud Spring’s first light breaks the misty cloud And the forest holds us, proud and allowed [Outro] (Leaves rustle, wind fades slow) Kalimba whispers, soft and low Mist drifts off, the dawn will grow In the hush where the wild things know... (Fade out)
