Rooted Echo

[Verse 1]
The leather spine, a landscape worn and deep,
Held close a moment that the ages keep.
A silent strata, where time's currents run,
Before the thunder changed the setting sun.

[Chorus]
Oh, the deep roots of a love long gone,
Anchored in this fragile, fading dawn.
A whispered promise, etched in light and air,
A rooted echo, found beyond compare.

[Verse 2]
Their faces caught, in sepia's gentle hue,
A summer morning, innocent and true.
Two sturdy saplings, reaching for the blue,
Before the iron wind came tearing through.

[Chorus]
Oh, the deep roots of a love long gone,
Anchored in this fragile, fading dawn.
A whispered promise, etched in light and air,
A rooted echo, found beyond compare.

[Bridge]
This fragile paper, a petrified embrace,
Holds the true north of a vanished place.
A geological shift, beneath the surface wrought,
The silence now, the lessons dearly bought.

[Outro]
And these old roots, still whisper in the stone,
A silent song, for hearts that now have grown.
