[Verse 1]
Leather boots, heavy armor like brambles, like dust
One of these days, you’ll discover your own morning sun
Finding feet bare in softer ground
Finding depth in hollow earth
[Chorus]
The returning takes its own time
The returning takes its own time
[Verse 2]
Edge of the road with wind in your hair
In goat's yellow eyes, I saw us there
Fallen breaths speaking lowly in damper skies
My hands slowly softening your lines
[Chorus]
The returning takes its own time
The returning takes its own time
[Verse 3]
Went on a walk with the wrong expectations
Seeking a still life in a town that once was
Streets are silent like they were all last year
Time has taken its toll on it
[Verse 4]
You may sense my lonesome shadow
Distance between us has carved a hollow
Winding stillness, echo chamber
Time has taken its toll on me
[Chorus]
The returning takes its own time
The returning takes its own time
The returning takes its own time
The returning
