Lyrics · Donegal Edition
[Intro]
Aye… let autumn breathe its hush o’ amber licht.
The hills hum soft, the lanes grow still…
An’ the night drifts open like a wee silver door.
Let the season lift ye gentle…
An’ let the music carry ye slow.
[Verse 1]
A cool breath on my skin,
the evenin’ hums in blue.
The sky turns violet, weary,
aye, each shadow feels worn through.
Apples glowin’ in the branches,
wee moons beneath the stems.
I follow where the daylight drifts,
tae gather autumn’s hidden gems.
[Pre-Chorus]
My footsteps stir the silence,
a soft static at my shoes.
The sky grows violet, tired,
an’ every shadow is a ghost.
[Chorus]
Autumn, carry me slow,
through the amber afterglow.
I keep dancin’ wi’ the ghosts o’ green,
where the city lichts breathe soft an’ low.
Autumn, carry me slow,
teach the bright things how tae let go.
[Verse 2]
Neon wakes in the puddles,
on streets washed clean by rain.
The branches pulse like circuits
against the trembling windowpane.
I taste the warmth o’ cider,
an’ the smoke frae o’er the hills.
Every memory drifts lighter,
yet the longing lingers still.
[Verse 3]
The orchard hums at twilight,
wi’ a low electric sigh.
I almost hear yer laughter
in the leaves that rise an’ fly.
[Chorus]
Autumn, carry me slow,
through the amber afterglow.
I keep dancin’ wi’ the ghosts o’ green,
where the city lichts breathe soft an’ low.
Autumn, carry me slow,
teach the bright things how tae let go.
[Bridge]
If loss is but a doorway,
then open it wi’ licht.
Let the night fall gently,
let the wee stars spark tae life.
I’ll no’ fear the changin’,
I’ll no’ call it pain.
I’ll be the spark still movin’
through the soft an’ silver rain.
[Final Chorus]
Autumn, carry me slow,
through the amber afterglow.
I keep dancin’ wi’ the ghosts o’ green,
where the city lichts breathe soft an’ low.
Autumn, carry me slow,
teach the bright things how tae let go.
[Outro]
A cool breath on my skin,
apples dim among the trees.
I walk through yellow leaves,
an’ let the season leave.
