[Verse 1]
Dawn leans its shoulder to the pane,
a silver spoon sings soft refrain;
fresh coffee lifts in ghostly streams,
like incense rising through my dreams.

The world still sleeps beneath its blue,
but I awake to something true:
the hush that wraps the heart in light,
the tender silk of fading night.

[Verse 2]
They ask me why I never stay
where laughter burns itself away,
why I slip out when glasses shine
and leave the glitter, smoke, and wine.

How could I make them understand
my soul does not seek the crowded band,
but one low lamp, one quiet tune,
one velvet room, one cobalt moon?

[Pre-Chorus]
For I have learned what mercy is:
not every emptiness amiss.
Some silences are warm and wise,
like smoke that curls, then gently dies.

[Chorus]
My solitude is not a scar,
not some abandoned, lightless bar;
it is the saxophone at two,
a velvet ache, a note of blue.

It is the amber, shaded glow,
the slowest song the lost ones know;
the kind of loneliness that stays
and turns to gold in dimming haze.

[Verse 3]
I walk alone through park and street
where leaves and sun in secret meet;
I pass the lovers, hand in hand,
the little kingdoms softly planned.

I do not envy, do not grieve;
I watch the living dusk unweave.
Each glance a line, each laugh a sign,
each passing life a work divine.

[Verse 4]
There is a chest inside my breast
where broken hymns and wonders rest;
old griefs in lace, bright joys in flame,
the lips I kissed, the ones I name.

I open it when I am still,
when midnight bends to my own will;
I touch each memory as though
it were a record playing low.

[Pre-Chorus]
And in that private, sacred air,
I meet the truest version there:
not made for noise, nor dressed for show,
but lit within by embers’ glow.

[Chorus]
My solitude is not a scar,
not some abandoned, lightless bar;
it is the saxophone at two,
a velvet ache, a note of blue.

It is the crimson stage half-lit,
the final match, the cigarette;
the kind of loneliness that blooms
like perfume in forgotten rooms.

[Bridge]
Sometimes I am a slender tree
alone, yet held by all I see;
the wind my hands, the rain my grace,
the sun a kiss upon my face.

I have been emptied, I have burned,
and still my softer self returned;
now night can hold me like a hymn,
low-lit, unhurried, close, and dim.

[Final Chorus]
My solitude is now my art,
the midnight lounge inside my heart;
where saxophones in smoky light
make holy all the broken night.

No, I was never left behind—
I simply chose a gentler kind
of love: the one that asks of me
to stay, at last, and simply be.

[Outro]
A spoon against a porcelain cup,
the dawn outside, the steam rising up;
one shaded lamp, one final tune—
my soul alone, and not too soon.

In velvet hush, in silver air,
with smoke like prayer uncoiling there,
I find the home I wandered through:
my quiet heart, my midnight blue.
