Whispers of Autumn

[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
