[Intro]
Dust on the gravel, footprints in the light
Whisper of leaves turning gold then night
A quiet map painted in amber and green
The road keeps breathing, somewhere unseen
[Verse]
Along the path where the shadows hang low
I trace the edges where the cool winds go
Yellow whispers drift from branches high
Orange sunsets bottled under the gray sky
The forest hums with a patient breeze
Fallen confetti rustles under my knees
Every step a note in a slow refrain
Carved by the weather, softened by rain
Beyond the bend the horizon loosens its hold
Colors in watercolors, soft and bold
The curve ahead is a whispered goodbye
Yet it invites me to wander, to try
[Chorus]
Follow the road through the autumn glow
Where time slows down and stories grow
Leaves flutter like lines in a song
I’m moving forward, feeling strong
Follow the road through the autumn glow
Where silence learns the language of old
The path keeps curving, my heart says go
In this forest, I am not alone
[Verse]
Crisp air brushes the edge of my breath
I listen to branches confide what they’ve left
A chorus of squirrels scribbles overhead
Lanterns of light through a cloudy thread
The gray above makes the colors more keen
Every shade a secret in between
I pocket a memory from the day
A card of orange light that will not fray
The path drifts onward, a gentle fade
Beneath my steps the moss awakes unafraid
I map the distance with the pace I know
Past pines that glitter with a dusty snow
The stream of thought runs soft and clear
Carved in the quiet, I hold it near
[Chorus]
Follow the road through the autumn glow
Where time slows down and stories grow
Leaves flutter like lines in a song
I’m moving forward, feeling strong
Follow the road through the autumn glow
Where silence learns the language of old
The path keeps curving, my heart says go
In this forest, I am not alone
[Bridge]
A bend becomes a lantern, guiding me inside
The wind hums a tune I never thought to find
I shed the loud miles for a simpler pace
Let the leaf-crackle be my trusted base
Under overcast skies, every color’s brave
I’m choosing the path that teaches how to stay
If distance is a teacher, I’ll listen slow
If sunlight returns, I’ll still know
The curve knew my name before I did
And every step writes back what I lived
[Chorus]
Follow the road through the autumn glow
Where time slows down and stories grow
Leaves flutter like lines in a song
I’m moving forward, feeling strong
Follow the road through the autumn glow
Where silence learns the language of old
The path keeps curving, my heart says go
In this forest, I am not alone
[Outro]
The gravel sings the fade of day
I keep walking toward the gray-blue day
Leaves whisper gravity in a softened rhyme
I’ll meet the distance in due time
