Soundtrack from the vlog episode 397. Unexpected Emotional Moment.
Lyrics
Your laughter in the branches
Your jacket on that crooked fence
Boot prints in the muddy path
I trace them like a fingerprint
Thermos steaming in your hands
You said
“This hill is ours to climb”
Now the hill is just a hill
And the echo’s keeping time
[Chorus]
I still walk where we used to walk
Same old roots
Same winding talk in my head
I say your names out loud
So they don’t fade
So they don’t fade
Every tree
Every stone remembers us
But I walk alone
Yeah
I walk alone today
[Verse 2]
Mom stopped for every wildflower
Dad counted crows along the wire
You carried all our little troubles
Till your shoulders grew tired
Now it’s only creaking branches
And the crunch of my own feet
I keep turning at the rustling
Like you’re about to meet me
[Chorus]
I still walk where we used to walk
Same old roots
Same winding talk in my head
I say your names out loud
So they don’t fade
So they don’t fade
Every tree
Every stone remembers us
But I walk alone
Yeah
I walk alone today
[Bridge]
If I close my eyes
You’re just ahead
You’re just ahead (wait up)
But when I reach
It’s only air
So I leave one set of footprints
On this worn and narrow trail
And pretend yours are still there
[Chorus]
I still walk where we used to walk
Same old roots
Same winding talk in my head
I say your names out loud
So they don’t fade
So they don’t fade
Every tree
Every stone remembers us
Till these woods call me home
I’ll walk alone this way
