[Intro – soft acoustic guitar strums, faint piano arpeggios] Morning light spills through the screen Dust motes dance where the air is clean [Verse 1 – gentle fingerpicked guitar, soft shaker] I found a note tucked in your coat The ink had smudged where your thumb had wrote You said you’d meet me by the oak When the summer sun starts to soak [Pre-Chorus – subtle string swells, quiet tambourine] I traced the edges of your words Wondered if you’d heard the birds Singing songs we used to know When the world felt slow and low [Chorus 1 – layered vocal harmonies, full acoustic guitar] Soft light falls on your face Every worry finds its place In the silence we create No more time to hesitate [Interlude, Instrumental Solo – gentle piano melody, light drum brush taps] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 2 – added bass line, soft vocal ad-libs] I waited there till the clock struck three Watched the clouds drift out to sea Then I saw your silhouette Stepping through the summer set [Pre-Chorus 2 – rising string section, louder tambourine] You smiled like you’d been gone for years Wiped the rain from my cheeks and ears Said you’d never leave again That our story was not at an end [Chorus 2 – more intense harmonies, light snare drum] Soft light falls on your face Every worry finds its place In the silence we create No more time to hesitate [Bridge – stripped back acoustic guitar, solo vocal] We walked back home as the stars came out Talked about what life was about No more secrets, no more lies Just the quiet in our eyes [Final Chorus – full band, soaring harmonies, piano climax] Soft light falls on our faces Every worry finds its places In the love we’ve always made No more time to hesitate [Outro – fading guitar, faint piano, whispered harmonies] Soft light stays through the night Holding us till morning light
