Silver Hollow, Quiet Soul — Song No. 02

Some nights the hollow holds you better than any words could. Stars settle soft. The heron doesn't move. The dulcimer knows your name. "Silver Hollow, Quiet Soul" is the second track from an original Appalachian bluegrass collection — songs written for tired hearts, quiet nights, and the grace that lives in the dark between the stars. This one's for anyone who's carried stones that weren't theirs to keep. 🎶 Lead instrument: Dulcimer 🌙 Tempo: Slow / 55 BPM 📍 Setting: Mountain hollow, deep night ───────────────────────────── LYRICS ───────────────────────────── Verse 1 Stars come out like a scattered prayer, Settlin' soft on the evenin' air. That old hollow breathes a silver glow, And the night says things only tired hearts know. Chorus Silver hollow, lay your light on me, Hush this restless soul and let it be. I've carried stones that weren't mine to keep, But tonight the valley's rocked me back to sleep. Verse 2 Heron stands where the shallows gleam, Still as a prayer, still as a dream. That old dulcimer hums a patient song, Like it always knew just where I belong. [Chorus] Bridge The dark's not empty — it's full of grace, Every shadow knows its rightful place. I ain't broken, I ain't lost no more, Just resting easy on a familiar shore. Final Chorus Silver hollow, lay your light on me, Hush this restless soul and let it be. The night is gentle, the hour is kind, As heaven settles on a grateful mind. ───────────────────────────── Part of the series: Songs from the Hollow ───────────────────────────── #bluegrass #appalachian #originalmusic #dulcimer #americana #folk #acousticmusic #nightmusic #songsfromthehollow #silverhollow #quietsoul
