Old Pine

Old Pine (老松樹) (EP Version) - Ben Howard

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 bloom of summertime

We stood

Steady as the stars in the woods

So happy-hearted

And the warmth rang true inside these bones

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 or the echoed stone

Careless and young free as the birds that fly

With weightless souls now

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

As the old pine fell we sang

Just to bless the morning

We grow grow steady as the morning

We grow grow older still

We grow grow happy as a new dawn

We grow grow older still

We grow grow steady as the flowers

We grow grow older still

We grow grow happy as a new dawn

We grow grow older still
