Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Braiding rivers into my hair,
Running to the morning dew,
I was young and running wild,
Love was something I never knew.
[Chorus]
Braiding rivers into my hair,
Running to the morning dew.
I kept chasing what I couldn't name,
Till the day came breaking through.
[Verse 2]
Now the meadow holds the footprints
Where I raced the dawn alone;
Every bend along the water
Taught my restless heart its home.
[Chorus]
Braiding rivers into my hair,
Running to the morning dew.
I kept chasing what I couldn't name,
Till the day came breaking through.
[Outro]
Braiding rivers into my hair,
Running to the morning dew.
Braiding rivers into my hair,
Running to the morning dew,
I was young and running wild,
Love was something I never knew.
[Chorus]
Braiding rivers into my hair,
Running to the morning dew.
I kept chasing what I couldn't name,
Till the day came breaking through.
[Verse 2]
Now the meadow holds the footprints
Where I raced the dawn alone;
Every bend along the water
Taught my restless heart its home.
[Chorus]
Braiding rivers into my hair,
Running to the morning dew.
I kept chasing what I couldn't name,
Till the day came breaking through.
[Outro]
Braiding rivers into my hair,
Running to the morning dew.
Style of Music
Intimate acoustic folk ballad, fingerpicked steel-string guitar in a lilting 6/8 groove, restrained upright bass and soft brushed percussion entering after the opening verse, subtle fiddle answering the vocal between phrases, close-miked warm lead vocal with natural breath and gentle phrasing, chorus opens into light harmony, organic room sound and uncluttered mix, ending with a quiet guitar-and-voice reprise.
