[Intro]
A shift is coming, I can feel it now,
A warmth that finds its way somehow,
The chill is fading, day by day,
The sun is finding where to stay.
[Verse 1]
The chill has lingered on the pane,
The rain has sung its long refrain,
But I can feel a shift in air,
A whispered promise, soft and rare.
The clouds are parting, slow and shy,
A golden thread across the sky,
The earth, it breathes a warmer sigh,
And summer's ghost won't say goodbye.
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can hear the distant hum,
Of days when all the worries numb,
The light is leaning, drawing near,
To melt the last of winter's fear.
[Chorus]
Oh, the sun will come again to stay,
A gentle warmth to end the day,
The velvet days, the amber light,
The barque of summer holds us tight.
No more cold, no more grey,
Just the haze of late August's sway,
The velvet days, the amber light,
We'll bask until the fall takes flight.
[Verse 2]
The morning dew will dry by noon,
A lazy breeze will hum a tune,
The afternoons will softly gleam,
A touch of heat, a golden dream.
The evenings keep a tender glow,
The fading light, a painter's show,
We'll walk the lanes where shadows play,
And hold the last of summer's sway.
[Bridge]
And when the night comes creeping in,
We'll keep the warmth beneath our skin,
For this is not an ending, no,
Just a slow, sweet afterglow.
[Chorus]
Oh, the sun will come again to stay,
A gentle warmth to end the day,
The velvet days, the amber light,
The barque of summer holds us tight.
No more cold, no more grey,
Just the haze of late August's sway,
The velvet days, the amber light,
We'll bask until the fall takes flight.
[Post-Chorus]
Hold the light, hold the gleam,
Live inside this golden dream,
Every ray, every hue,
The summer's last and sweetest view.
[Outro]
The velvet days, the amber light,
We'll hold them close through coming night,
The warmth will linger, soft and true,
A golden season, just for you.
