Poles in the Dirt
Style: Folk duet

[Verse 1]
I left the poles stuck in the ground
Dry grass leaning where they stand
Still I feel you holding steady
Even with an empty hand

[Chorus]
Matthew, you are the thing that holds
When the wind decides to push
Some folks bend and some folks scatter
You stay planted like the brush

[Verse 2]
The trail forgets the ones who pass it
You're the mark that doesn't fade
I could lose the path completely
Still find you where you stayed

[Pre-chorus]
Every season tries to move you
Every storm has had its say
But you're still here, so I keep walking

[Chorus]
Matthew, you are the thing that holds
When the wind decides to push
Some folks bend and some folks scatter
You stay planted like the brush

[Bridge]
I don't need the view from the summit
Just the ground you're standing on
Every hard mile softens near you
Long after the daylight's gone

[Chorus]
Matthew, you are the thing that holds
When the wind decides to push
Some folks bend and some folks scatter
You stay planted like the brush

[Outro]
The grass will bend and rise again
But the poles, Matthew, still stand true
