Sleepy Folk - Strides Lyrics

Tears engrave a trace of their own strides
They seem to show just as we smile
Deepening as days turn to weeks
Dampening our cheeks with grief

Shadows stretch and step aside
Bordered by the evening's light
That glides down from above

Pain it wears away in our own minds
It seems to show just as we smile
Don't be scared these wounds won't ever bleed
The scars too deep for them to see

As shadows grow the trees do too
Like them we reach and our leaves come loose
They glide down from above
And die beside our feet

Take a breath it's a gift from the trees
Let your strides guide you through with ease
And brush away the weight of all your fears
And drain away the weight of all your tears
