Fallow Year (versie 2)

Intro

The field goes quiet when the rain comes down

Verse 1

Your father's tractor parked beside the barn

Silent for a season every year

You and I are counting days like seeds

Waiting on the light to turn it clear

Pre-Chorus

Something is holding still inside me

A little spark that won't ignite yet

Chorus

Maybe this is just a fallow year

Not wasted, not idle, just letting go of what we feared

Every drop of water holds some seed

Some quiet kind of growing, slow as it needs

Verse 2

You're reading books you never read before

Sitting in the attic with the window open wide

Your father's boots are stacked against the wall

Still I keep wondering why this time feels different inside

Pre-Chorus

Something is holding still inside me

A little spark that won't ignite yet

Chorus

Maybe this is just a fallow year

Not wasted, not idle, just letting go of what we feared

Every drop of water holds some seed

Some quiet kind of growing, slow as it needs

Bridge

It's not the doing that I'm waiting for

It's the patience to stay still long enough to see what was always here

The field doesn't need me to make it green

It just needed a little time to breathe

Chorus

Maybe this is just a fallow year

Not wasted, not idle, just letting go of what we feared

Every drop of water holds some seed

Some quiet kind of growing, slow as it needs
