Stardust on the Wind

[Intro] Soft breath of night, a silver thread in the air Where only the quiet knows what’s coming there [Verse 1] We pace the edge of waking, counting star-ticks on the ground A hush wears velvet on the sky, not loud, but profound I listen for your not-yet-voice, for a sign that’s almost here Instruments of stillness tune the dusk, crystal and clear [Pre-Chorus] If you hover somewhere between dream and dawn Let the winds rearrange the dust like a soft new yawn [Chorus] You arrive as a whisper of stardust on the wind, softly rearranging A drift of time, a quiet hinge turning Not a shout, but a shimmer in the room, a gentle glimmer dawning We wait, and the air remembers your name without saying [Verse 2] The clock forgets its edges, the rooms glow with patient light Footfalls of galaxies brush our sleeves, then vanish from sight We fold the ordinary into a constellation of maybe And listen for the sigh of gravity that feels like poetry [Pre-Chorus] If you linger in the pause between hearts and skies Let the rain of silent sparks become morning’s compromise [Chorus] You arrive as a whisper of stardust on the wind, softly rearranging A drift of time, a quiet hinge turning Not a shout, but a shimmer in the room, a gentle glimmer dawning We wait, and the air remembers your name without saying [Bridge] Perhaps you’ll tip the chandeliers with a breath of frost Reveal that wonder was here all along, not lost [Chorus] You arrive as a whisper of stardust on the wind, softly rearranging A drift of time, a quiet hinge turning Not a shout, but a shimmer in the room, a gentle glimmer dawning We wait, and the air remembers your name without saying [Outro] When dawn hums softly and the first light changes its tune We’ll know you came, not loud, but true, and left a gentler room
