[Intro]
Mist on the meadow, dawn in your hair
Two paths wandering, unaware
A breeze carries a name I nearly forgot
And the line between strangers and fate grows soft
[Verse]
I came with a pocket full of stories I never told
A guitar that trembles when the morning grows cold
You were under the awning of a small-town cafe
Sipping sunlight, watching shoes go astray
Your smile pulled a thread from the rough of the day
I asked for a map, you offered a sky to stay
Footsteps tapped a rhythm on the wooden floor
And the world paused to hear what our hands were for
[Chorus]
If this is autumn meeting spring, then hold me near
Let the weather write our chorus in the air
Two voices wandering but finding a single thread
In your eyes I hear the weathered map we read
Hook: Hold me closer, let the moment be our song
Hold me closer, where two hearts belong
Hold me closer, until the dawn is new
Two rhythms beating one refrain for me and you
[Verse]
We spoke in soft commandments, simple and true
Names like old rivers finding a fresher view
You spoke of miles where the wildflowers learn your name
I told you about a road that calls me back again
A dog trotted by with a whistle of rain
We shared a laugh and forgot the winter's chain
The kettle sang, the stove sighed with light
And strangers learned to wait for a kiss at night
[Chorus]
If this is autumn meeting spring, then hold me near
Let the weather write our chorus in the air
Two voices wandering but finding a single thread
In your eyes I hear the weathered map we read
Hook: Hold me closer, let the moment be our song
Hold me closer, where two hearts belong
Hold me closer, until the dawn is new
Two rhythms beating one refrain for me and you
[Verse]
We found a bench where the city wore away
And whispering trees kept the hours at bay
I counted your breaths like a lighthouse light
Guiding my steps to a quiet night
We traded stories of places we might see
Corners of oceans and a balcony key
You pressed your palm to mine, a spark that stayed
And the room grew brighter with every word you made
[Bridge]
The road ahead is gentle, not a threat but a dare
A chorus of gulls teaches us to share
Two harmonies learning to hold their breath
Till the syllables bloom into promises we kept
What if love is a song we learn by mistake
A tune that finds us when the world goes opaque
So we sing through the tremor, we chase the light
Two voices rising to meet at the edge of night
[Chorus]
If this is autumn meeting spring, then hold me near
Let the weather write our chorus in the air
Two voices wandering but finding a single thread
In your eyes I hear the weathered map we read
Hook: Hold me closer, let the moment be our song
Hold me closer, where two hearts belong
Hold me closer, until the dawn is new
Two rhythms beating one refrain for me and you
[Outro]
And if the morning asks how we arrived
We’ll say we wandered, and we arrived alive
Two hands, one melody, a quiet vow
In the light of dawn, I’m yours, and you’re mine now
