[Intro]
Soft light, a whisper in the air
Leaves unlace in pale gold glare
[Verse 1]
Late summer sighs, the daylight slows
Dust motes drift where the river glows
Crickets keep time in a cooler breeze
Footsteps soften on amber trees
[Pre-Chorus]
A shift so quiet, you almost miss
The scent of rain on earth and bliss
[Chorus]
Light tilts, a gentler fade
Dusk comes early, streams persuade
Smell of damp earth, old and true
Whispers of autumn slipping through
[Verse 2]
Shoes in the grass, the shadows grow
Faint chill hints where the hedges row
Calendar flips with a whispered sigh
Fireflies blink like a wary eye
[Pre-Chorus]
A hush that's barely spoken here
A promise cooled by evening near
[Chorus]
Light tilts, a gentler fade
Dusk comes early, streams persuade
Smell of damp earth, old and true
Whispers of autumn slipping through
[Bridge]
If you listen close, you’ll hear the shore of June
Rivers slow their waking tune
The lanterns wake with softer flame
Greeting a season calling your name
[Chorus]
Light tilts, a gentler fade
Dusk comes early, streams persuade
Smell of damp earth, old and true
Whispers of autumn slipping through
[Outro]
Quiet shift, a silver seam
Between warm days and a cooler dream
