Where The Wildwood Ends

Lyrics
Verse 1
If the color of my passion is red
Then it burns where the quiet turns to dread
The trees don’t ask what I’ve been through
They just listen like they always do
I stand where the moss forgets my name
Where the dirt don’t care who’s to blame
That hill beyond still catches light
Even when the valley folds into night
Chorus
And the rain—it doesn’t wait
Slips through roots, rewrites the slate
Finds its way like it always knew
Past the things I never said to you
If there’s a line where the still begins
It’s there—where the wildwood ends
Verse 2
I never asked for maps or signs
Just kept on walking through time
There’s no anthem in the trees
Only questions carried on the breeze
The ground remembers every fall
And every time I tried to stand too tall
But I’ve learned how silence speaks
Between the echoes and the creeks
Chorus
And the rain—it doesn’t wait
Slips through roots, rewrites the slate
Finds its way like it always knew
Past the things I never said to you
If there’s a line where the still begins
It’s there—where the wildwood ends
Bridge
I don’t need closure, I don’t need grace
Just a place untouched by names or face
Where red still burns without regret
And I can breathe without forget
Final Chorus
The rain keeps moving, soft and slow
Takes the edge off all I know
Washes down from branch to stone
Through a heart that stands alone
If there’s a truth that time defends
I’ll find it—where the wildwood ends
(fade out)
