Heartstrings
A stripped-down folk song by Mason Jennings, tugging at the threads of love and loss.
Heartstrings pulled by the wind's soft sigh
Memories fly, touch the sky
Old guitar in the morning light
Plays the songs of the night
Chorus
Heartstrings, tune me true
Me and you, through
In the folk, find the soul's quiet fire
Heartstrings, higher
Notes linger like a lover's breath
On the edge of life and death
Heartstrings hum with the river's flow
Letting go, slow
Chorus
Heartstrings, tune me true
Me and you, through
In the folk, find the soul's quiet fire
Heartstrings, higher
Bridge
When the strings snap and the silence falls
Heartstrings call, walls
In the quiet, hear the heart's own song
All along
Outro
Heartstrings, in the Minnesota air
Everywhere
