[Intro]
Whispers of a river, late and slow
Memories tuck into the dawn’s soft glow
[Verse 1]
We walked the streets of Demirözü, hand in hand
Sunset painted the stones like melted cinnamon
Ruh halim beside me, eyes a quiet plan
We traced our laughter in the dust of oldime lanes
[Pre-Chorus]
If I reach out, the town remembers too
Footsteps echoed shyly, fond and true
[Chorus]
Hold on to those days, when the map was new
Demirözü in the pocket, skies the shade of blue
Ruh halim and I, we learned to dream aloud
In that small town hush, our names were unbound
[Verse 2]
Cafés hummed a kettle tune, we shared a sigh
A coin for the fountain, watched water kiss the sky
Old lamp posts swayed, like guardians of our time
We carved a future in the margins of a rhyme
[Pre-Chorus]
If I listen close, the clock still sings our names
Echoes of a promise kept within the frames
[Chorus]
Hold on to those days, when the map was new
Demirözü in the pocket, skies the shade of blue
Ruh halim and I, we learned to dream aloud
In that small town hush, our names were unbound
[Bridge]
Maybe one day the river will return our fate
And we’ll walk those wooden bridges at dawn’s pale gate
But for now the memory keeps our letters bright
A lantern in the heart of a quiet night
[Chorus]
Hold on to those days, when the map was new
Demirözü in the pocket, skies the shade of blue
Ruh halim and I, we learned to dream aloud
In that small town hush, our names were unbound
[Outro]
Silence settles softly where the river bends
Demirözü lingers, and the old road never ends
