[Verse 1]
Mi four decade deep now, di chill a cut sharper,
Mi overcoat heavy, worn out from years mi carry.
Yuh laughter still echo, bright an full a life,
Mi look up, like yuh deh above mi, smilin’ eternal, mi rife.
Memories run past autumn field dem,
Harvest ride, hollow pumpkin, horizon glow molten gold,
Mi collapse inna di safety a yuh,
Long drive home, wheel hum, heart warm, mi bold.
⸻
[Chorus]
Mi still nuh fully get why leaf dem drop dem green,
But mi know yuh face every storm wid courage clean.
Mi neva know di geography a fairy tale or castle,
But mi know di geography a yuh love, mi hassle.
Every day wid yuh, dat a di finest a mi life, mi queen.
⸻
[Verse 2]
Adolescence cut deep, mi only thirteen,
Confused by deception, mi eyes a sheen.
Come home inna tears, shallow embrace wait,
Yuh tek di keys, escape di state, mi fate.
Wi wander dangerous street, chat bout everything, nothing,
Di sting a mi sin fade, yuh laugh bounce off window glass, mi loving.
⸻
[Chorus 2]
All day inna crowded hall, whisper secret, mi dance alone,
Car ride wid yuh always fill di void, mi comfort zone.
Mi neva know how long sorrow linger pon mi mind,
But every hour wid yuh a relief, peace mi find,
Di best day, hidden inna di ordinary, mi rewind.
⸻
[Verse 3]
Mi father iron strong, gentle inna heart,
Him strength lend mi courage, help mi start.
Divinity shine pon mi oldest sister bright,
Brilliant ways mi neva could match inna mi sight.
Wi live inna house weh wall dem hold light,
Boundless earth, memory dem take flight,
Inna dat space, mi find di best day, mi right,
Wid yuh love make mi world bright.
⸻
[Bridge]
Picture survive, mi only three,
Yuh spread vinyl pon carpet, lay mi down beside yuh, mi see.
Yuh a di sovereign beauty, mi small universe,
Mi mama love draw di map, guide mi life fi rehearse.
⸻
[Chorus Out]
Now mi know why tree dem change color inna autumn,
Time demand renewal, life keep a blossom.
An if mi days wid yuh eva unclear, hear mi now:
Di finest day a mi life
A di one mi spend alone wid yuh,
