Lyrics Novels of Acquaintance - Rising Appalachia

I met you over mountain moons
Banjo riffs and fiddle tunes an'
Sugar River, Stair Creek first
Once now, twice now, every weekend

Lean in beloved friend
Bits of tender reel me in an'
Tip the cup and pour the rubies
Wild laughter, lust, and beauty

Yeah
Fine tune me with patience
And I'll write you
Novels of acquaintance

Yeah
Fine tune me with patience
And I'll write you
Novels of acquaintance

Thank you dear family
For stepping up unanimously
Everywhere we've gone, we're home
Voice for glory, grace where shown

It's boundless what we're in
The movements growing, spreading kin
Teach me treasure, grow me strong
Give me strength in every song

Yeah
Fine tune me with patience
And I'll write you
Novels of acquaintance

Yeah
Fine tune me with patience
And I'll write you
Novels of acquaintance

Dear quiet mystic neighbor
Here's to trails and trails of paper
A firm footed letter lover
You're the best thing I've discovered

It's a love song, it's true
No hints, no riddles, no clues
No threats, no strings, no bound
And damn baby, you make me grounded

Yeah
Fine tune me with patience
And I'll write you
Novels of acquaintance

Yeah
Fine tune me with patience
And I'll write you
Novels of acquaintance

I'd never be here without
All your hands rejoice and shout
You who came broke and weary
Sick, step into the clearing

Let this be a moment healing
I see you picture perfect
Rise together, lose no faith
That I've got you and you've got me

Yeah
Fine tune me with patience
And I'll write you
Novels of acquaintance

Yeah
Fine tune me with patience
And I'll write you
Novels of acquaintance
