Lyrics
[Female vocal, soft and breathy]
The sunset flares again above the sea,
The shadows lengthen, solemn, deep and slow,
Rising from the darkened evening shoreline
Standing quietly in the dusk below.
[Verse 1 — gentle piano enters, soft pulse]
[Male vocal, intimate]
In half-lit air a distant calling cries,
Where surf conceals its sorrow, dark and wide,
As if the sky above the harbor sighs
And leaves its quiet grief inside.
[Pre-Chorus — female vocal, rising swell, distant choir pads]
The coastal hush is breathing soft and wide,
The drifting shadows sail into the night,
And fading embers trembling on the tide
Carry away our words in dying light.
[Chorus — male vocal with layered harmonies, warm and open]
Somewhere beyond the breathing of the sea
The glow of sunset slowly fades away,
Dissolving in the silence, soft and free,
Where only traces of the light can stay.
[Bridge — male vocal low and reflective, sparse guitar]
A pale white lighthouse stands above the waves,
The familiar harbors empty, still and lone,
Where every road and quiet truth once met
In coastal valleys, now forever gone.
[Final Chorus — female and male vocals harmonized, wider sound]
Somewhere beyond the breathing of the sea
The glow of sunset slowly fades away,
Dissolving through the silence, soft and free,
Where only memory of light can stay.
[Outro — fading pads, ocean ambience, soft guitar echoes]
[Female vocal, ad-libs fading]
Above the sea the sunset slowly dims…
And shadows drift away into the dark.
