Lyrics: Tirion
Music: Tirion
[Verse 1]
Beneath the eaves, the moon hangs still
Over plum blossom, over stone
I keep my name like folded silk
Quiet, but it cuts through bone
Old river steps, the moss still grows
Time writes deep in every seam
I walk with wind that knows my face
Carrying a thousand years of green
[Pre-Chorus]
Soft as snow on cedar wood
Strong as the mountain line
What was given, what endured
Lives in me like root and vine
[Chorus]
Jade moon thread, guide me home
(guide me home)
Jade moon thread, through the cold
(through the cold)
Steady heart, elegant and old
I carry the East in my soul
Jade moon thread, guide me home
(guide me home)
[Verse 2]
Ink on paper, brush in hand
One line breathes a thousand forms
A single cup of tea held close
Can hold the hush before the storm
In the lattice, shadow turns
Gold against the winter screen
Not to shout, but to remain
That is where the spirit gleams
[Pre-Chorus]
Soft as snow on cedar wood
Strong as the mountain line
What was given, what endured
Lives in me like root and vine
[Chorus]
Jade moon thread, guide me home
(guide me home)
Jade moon thread, through the cold
(through the cold)
Steady heart, elegant and old
I carry the East in my soul
Jade moon thread, guide me home
(guide me home)
[Bridge]
Let the silence speak in arches
Let the incense rise and fade
I was shaped by patient hands
By the vows the ancients made
Not a flame that burns and breaks
I am jade beneath the snow
Quiet strength in every vein
A living echo, slow
[Final Chorus]
Jade moon thread, guide me home
(guide me home)
Jade moon thread, through the cold
(through the cold)
Steady heart, elegant and old
I carry the East in my soul
Jade moon thread, guide me home
(guide me home)
Jade moon thread, I remain
(I remain)
