FLUTE & TRUMPET
Japanese version here https://suno.com/s/Bh4we8KFDXwXXWQb ---------------------------------------------- [Intro] Two long shadows stretching out, side by side Low evening sun is pushing on our backs [Verse 1] The traffic light is blinking green to red You walk across without a single doubt I’m standing on the curb, my toes aligned behind the line Watching your brassy soul, brave like a trumpet in the sun [Pre-Chorus 1] Silence grows between us, thirty feet apart Staring at the muddy water in the ditch A dog barks once from somewhere far away [Chorus 1] Water fleas are jumping on the river bed Dragonflies are resting on the power lines Red sage in a row is gripping to the dusty earth [Post-Chorus 1] Just living there, as they are [Break / Interlude] [Verse 2] Light hits my eyes and I hide my face with my palm Everything is blurring into hazy white In that mist, you softly say, “You’re like a silver flute” Words that slipped out just like a gentle breath [Pre-Chorus 2] You turn around and quickly add a few more words “How you’re kind, and how you think before you take a step” [Chorus 2] Concrete towers cutting through the open sky Thunderheads are crumbling down so silently Pressure wavers, birds are circling in the air Far away the wind is shifting its steady course [Post-Chorus 2] Just being there, as it is [Bridge] I can hear the sound of two pairs of walking feet “You don’t have to give it your all,” you said to me In a funny way, you tried to ease my mind The sound of the brass and the sound of the woodwind I guess you were searching for your own way too [Outro] The same old road we always take to get back home On the old creek bridge, your skirt flutters in the breeze Thinking of the music that the two of us might make Tomorrow feels like something I can look forward to
