+ Show full styles

[Instrumental Intro: 16 bars. SOLO bowed cello plays the four-note sunrise hook. A second pizzicato cello joins at bar 9. No vocals.]

[Verse 1: light female alto; pizzicato cello groove, bowed replies]

At the bend beyond the county line,
Where the desert holds the dawn,
She stepped in through the coffee steam
Like she'd known me all along.

Kief-green hair and an easy grin,
Summer shining in her eyes;
"You visiting those stars tonight?"
And the sun began to rise.

[Cello Turnaround: 4 bars, bowed lead melody]

[Pre-Chorus: voice and cello trade phrases]

Teto laughed, "Look what wandered in!"
And sparks flew off the chrome.
Then Gumi smiled like desert rain,
And somehow I was home.

[Chorus: big, bright cello hook answers every two lines]

Oh, Gumi, Nevada sunrise,
Green voice in the amber air.
Oh, Gumi, Nevada sunrise,
Sunlight dancing in your hair.

You're the song between the stations,
You're the glow after the rain.
You make my world taste like peaches;
Come and ride this road again.

[Instrumental Refrain: 8 bars, cello plays the chorus melody, no vocals]

[Verse 2: bouncy plucked cello bass, bowed fills]

Past Enterprise, the mountains glowed,
The evening turning rose.
DYNA crowed beside the grill;
Dad-E watched the smoke drift slow.

Miku raised her glass of wine,
Nico floated in the pool;
Teto flashed a sideways grin,
And Gumi made that cello groove.

[Pre-Chorus: cello rises in warm harmony]

She doesn't need the loudest voice
To set the night aglow.
She brings the bread, she feeds the fire,
And gives us room to grow.

[Chorus: lead cello trades hooks with the vocal]

Oh, Gumi, Nevada sunrise,
Green voice in the amber air.
Oh, Gumi, Nevada sunrise,
Sunlight dancing in your hair.

You're the song between the stations,
You're the glow after the rain.
You make my world taste like peaches;
Come and ride this road again.

[Spoken, playful]

Come on, make that cello sing!

[CELLO SOLO: 24 bars. No singing. Bowed cello takes the lead: soaring melody, sliding notes, double-stops, rhythmic riffs. Pizzicato cello and sparse drums underneath.]

[Bridge: almost unaccompanied; intimate voice and low bowed cello]

Breakfast after midnight,
Smoke rings in the yard.
"Baby, life won't stay this hard,"
She says, and I drop my guard.

Lake Tahoe on the roadmap,
Her sandals by the door;
There's laughter in the kitchen,
"Come stay a little more."

[Verse 3: cello pizzicato riff returns; playful vocal]

Let Teto bring the lightning,
Let Miku bend the stars.
Let Nico start a riot
At the little poolside bar.

Let Yuki read the numbers,
Let Asuka bring the fire.
But Gumi's not a footnote;
She's the warmth between the lines.

[Final Chorus: triumphant cello countermelody, no extra instruments]

Oh, Gumi, Nevada sunrise,
Green voice in the amber air.
Oh, Gumi, Nevada sunrise,
Sunlight dancing in your hair.

You're the song between the stations,
You're the glow after the rain.
You make my world taste like peaches;
Come and ride this road again.

[Outro: vocals fade; cello keeps the sunrise motif]

Come and ride, come and ride,
Where the desert opens wide.
Nevada sunrise, warm and true,
The road grew brighter next to you.

[Spoken, delighted]

One love.
Gumi, please...!
One love.

[Instrumental End: 8 bars, solo bowed cello returns to opening motif and resolves.]
