Far Beyond The Trees

[Verse 1]
Amber leaves hang in her hair
Boots half sunk in the quiet earth
Cold air catching every breath
Like she’s afraid to move
To break the spell

[Chorus]
She’s looking far beyond the trees
Past every road she’s ever known
Heart like a suitcase at her feet
Hands in her pockets
Aching to go
Standing still as the branches sway
Watching the world turn gold and grey
She’s looking far beyond the trees
Trying to see who she could be

[Verse 2]
Old scarf pulled against her mouth
Eyes on some invisible line
Last words trembling on her tongue
Soft as the light on her shaking hands

[Chorus]
She’s looking far beyond the trees
Past every road she’s ever known
Heart like a suitcase at her feet
Hands in her pockets
Aching to go
Standing still as the branches sway
Watching the world turn gold and grey
She’s looking far beyond the trees
Trying to see who she could be

[Bridge]
If she steps forward
Does she disappear? (oh)
If she turns backward
Does she stay right here?
One deep breath in
Red leaves fall like years

[Chorus]
She’s looking far beyond the trees
Past every road she’s ever known
Heart like a suitcase at her feet
Hands in her pockets
Aching to go
Standing still as the branches sway
Wrapped in the last soft light of day
She’s looking far beyond the trees
Almost ready to believe in her

[Outro]
One more heartbeat
Then she moves
Through the quiet
Into the blue
