La Sereine

[Verse 1]
Past the last gravel turn
Where the pine trees lean in close
You hear the water move
Like it knows your name the most

Stone steps, linen robes
A porch with woven chairs
Your shoes by the cedar door
And the whole world waiting there

[Pre-Chorus]
Take a breath, let it slow
Leave the rush at the gate
Here the sky feels near
And your shoulders light as lace

[Chorus]
La Sereine, la sereine
Hold me in the green
La Sereine, la sereine
Soft and clean and keen
Set my heart at ease
Under tall dark trees
La Sereine, la sereine
Stay with me

[Verse 2]
Morning tea in amber cups
Mist still on the path
A fox cut through the ferns
Then vanished in the grass

Dinner by the fire bowl
Wild herbs on the plate
Gold light on polished wood
And the night arrives unhurried late

[Pre-Chorus]
Take a breath, let it slow
Leave the rush at the gate
Here the sky feels near
And your shoulders light as lace

[Chorus]
La Sereine, la sereine
Hold me in the green
La Sereine, la sereine
Soft and clean and keen
Set my heart at ease
Under tall dark trees
La Sereine, la sereine
Stay with me

[Bridge]
When the windows open wide
And the valley starts to sing
I remember who I am
Without needing anything

[Final Chorus]
La Sereine, la sereine
Hold me in the green
La Sereine, la sereine
Soft and clean and keen
Set my heart at ease
Under tall dark trees
La Sereine, la sereine
Stay with me
