[Intro]
Crimson light on calm waves, a hush in the air
We stand at the edge where yesterday meets the dare
[Verse 1]
Gold and rose settle on your sighing breath
A circle of fire sinking slow into the west
We catch hold of once and then let it be
Aware that this glow is borrowed from eternity
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold this breath a moment longer, don’t hurry the -
Sky turns to velvet, a soft goodbye whisper
[Chorus]
This sunset is a bookmark in our fading day
A beautiful ache that won’t stay
We keep the color to carry us through the night
Fade-out in a kiss of fading light
[Verse 2]
Crickets hum as the sea wears a lilac glaze
We map the memory in a thousand soft phrases
If joy is a traveler, tonight it stays
Then slips through the dawn like a remembered phrase
[Pre-Chorus]
Let the edge of light linger a beat longer
Close your eyes, feel how moments grow stronger
[Chorus]
This sunset is a bookmark in our fading day
A beautiful ache that won’t stay
We keep the color to carry us through the night
Fade-out in a kiss of fading light
[Bridge]
If memories were lanterns, we’d scatter them wide
Follow the glow where promises hide
But time, like tide, will carve new shapes from the shore
We keep the hush and we crave nothing more
[Chorus]
This sunset is a bookmark in our fading day
A beautiful ache that won’t stay
We keep the color to carry us through the night
Fade-out in a kiss of fading light
[Outro]
As the last ember sinks, we breathe the quiet truth:
Joy is a spark that learns to fade into you
