Five O’Clock Island Breeze (Animal Crossing: New Horizons)
[Instrumental Intro] [small wave hush, marimba and kalimba trade a four-note smile, nylon guitar sways] [Verse 1] Morning letters stacked by the wooden door Seashell shine on the sandy floor Little garden yawns in a windy bow Water the soil and it thanks me now Town square hums with a soft hello Footsteps paint lines where the rivers flow Pockets full of simple plans Island sun in both my hands [Pre-Chorus] I take it slow, let the shoreline speak Clouds write notes on the bluest sheet [Chorus] This is home, with the ocean in the trees Palms keep time with the five o’clock breeze If the day drifts by like a kite that is free I wave and smile, that is fine by me This is home, where the sand knows my feet Every small hello makes the world feel sweet If the stars come early and the lamps agree We hum a tune that belongs to the sea [Verse 2] Fossil dust on a spade of clay New bridge drawn in a chalk-blue way Fruit in the air and a peach-soft laugh Footprints loop on a crooked path Museum lights glow amber gold Stories in glass never getting old Tailor’s pins and a friendly fit Mirror says yes, so I dance a bit [Pre-Chorus] I mark the sky where the swallows turn Little to learn and so much to learn [Chorus] This is home, with the ocean in the trees Palms keep time with the five o’clock breeze If the day drifts by like a kite that is free I wave and smile, that is fine by me This is home, where the sand knows my feet Every small hello makes the world feel sweet If the stars come early and the lamps agree We hum a tune that belongs to the sea [Bridge] [brushes and claps, marimba answers nylon guitar] Campfire circle by the driftwood line Jar of light with the fireflies fine Wish on a spark as the tide slides in Island keeps time with my breathing again [Final Chorus] This is home, with the ocean in the trees Palms keep time with the five o’clock breeze If the night sails close with a moon for a key We open the door and it sings with me This is home, where the sand knows my feet Every small hello makes the world feel sweet When the world gets quiet and the waves agree We hum a tune that belongs to the sea [Instrumental Outro] [marimba and nylon guitar duet, gentle wave hush, guitar resolves and fades]
