Rhododendron

Here we are in the pre-dawn lamp light

Take it in, breathe it in

Staring into the French Broad, clear-eyed

Mmm, listening

Fire flickers, and the stars burn brighter

November brushes against my skin

The stillness wraps around me

Like a rhododendron

Clouds shifting beyond this treeline

Lookin' out from hallowed ground

The dogwoods are blazing crimson

Glory all around

Smoke is thickening o'er mountain

Wrens scatter as the cold moves in

Underneath the brush

I see a lonely rhododendron

Here's where I'll lay my head down

Just like the ones who've come before

Moss be my emerald pillow

When I make my bed on the forest floor

Here's where I'll lay my head down

Just like the ones who've come before

Moss be my emerald pillow

When I make my bed on the forest floor

Here's where I'll lay my head down

Just like the ones who've come before

Moss be my emerald pillow

When I make my bed on the forest floor

Here's where I'll lay my head down

Just like the ones who've come before

Like a rhododendron

I'm a rhododendron

Like a rhododendron

I'm a rhododendron

I'm a rhododendron

I'm a rhododendron

Like a rhododendron

I'm a rhododendron

I'm a rhododendron

I'm a rhododendron

I'm a rhododendron

I'm a rhododendron
