Whispering Hearts:Kassidy & Dylan

[Intro] [Verse] The dust settles on the windowsill of our first home Kassidy traces lines in the pine wood grain Dylan watches the morning spill like spilled milk Across the floor where we learned to stand again We don't talk about the winters we survived Just the way the light catches the copper in your hair The kettle hums a low and steady song of staying While we breathe in the thick and silver air [Chorus] It is not a fire that burns the mountain down It is a slow lantern swinging in the dark Kassidy and Dylan etched into the bark Of a tree that grew despite the frozen ground We are the quiet pact made in the middle of the night The steady pulse of two hearts finding what is right [Verse] You brought a suitcase full of jagged jagged stones I brought a map with all the edges torn away We built a wall and then we made it a garden Learning how to speak and what we ought to say Dylan mends the fence while the shadows grow tall Kassidy calls from the porch as the sun begins to fail There is no magic here just the labor of the hours And the heavy anchors of a ship that learned to sail [Pre-Chorus] The road behind us is a ribbon of gray smoke The path ahead is a field of wild and tangled clover Every word we ever meant and every promise broke Is just the heavy coat we shed now that the rain is over [Chorus] It is not a fire that burns the mountain down It is a slow lantern swinging in the dark Kassidy and Dylan etched into the bark Of a tree that grew despite the frozen ground We are the quiet pact made in the middle of the night The steady pulse of two hearts finding what is right [Outro]
