Where the Light Begins | Letters from the Sun | Track 04-15 | 1965

[Chorus – Opening Line] The road will fade, but the heart remembers — where the light begins, I’ll find you there. (Soft piano, single voice, tape hiss audible — room tone and vulnerability.) [Verse 1] Empty streets and silver dawn, The city hums, the night is gone. All I held is turning slow, Like the sun that learns to glow. [Verse 2] Words we said still hang in air, The sound remains though you’re not there. All the echoes lead me home, Through the quiet, through the unknown. [Chorus] The road will fade, but the heart remembers, Every corner, every prayer. Time may fall, but love surrenders Only where the light begins — I’ll find you there. [Bridge – Epic Studio Section] (Strings enter. Soft snare roll. French horn undercurrent. Vocal harmony bloom.) “Every dream returns to the sea, Every light returns to me…” (Swell into final chorus — orchestra, organ, and layered harmonies together.) [Final Chorus + Outro] The road will fade, but the heart remembers, Every shadow leads somewhere. And if I reach the edge of forever, Where the light begins — I’ll find you there. (Long sustain on final chord — strings and organ blend into silence. Tape hiss lingers.)
