[Intro: Funky trumpet staccato – ta-ta-TA-bah, 3 seconds, off-beat, accent on the last note, solo, nothing else] Verse 1 (solo male voice, raw Chicago blues) No room I keep for autumn's sigh, nor winter's frost, nor summer's blaze; Withered leaves and pansies die—spring's tender bloom I scorn to praise. No stars ascend my darkened sky, no rain descends, no snowflakes fall; No butterflies nor angels fly, sadness itself I conquer all. [violins sustain underneath, clear but soft + Hammond swells lightly] Chorus 1 (four African-American women, tight gospel harmonies, together) No room... no room for autumn, Your lips are all the seasons I need. No room... no room for autumn, Just you, and this endless heat. [violins swell gently, audible presence + trumpets stab short "bah-bah" on "no room" + organ grooves under] [Bridge 1: 9.2s guitar solo w/ flanger – wavy, slow; warm violin pad underneath; rhythmic funky trumpets (ta-ta-ta-bah every 2 bars); electric bass slides in on bar 3, grooving low & dirty, fades into main groove] Verse 2 (solo male voice) I am no dreamer, ever lost, no melancholy nursed my soul; Passion unrouged, no painted cost—your smile alone makes morning whole. Your lips, like poppies kissed by sea, your hair a night in silken thrall; Love calls you sister, wild and free—infinity between breasts tall. [violins steady, never fade + Hammond holds] Chorus 2 (same four women, gospel, building) No seasons left... no seasons left, Only your breath on my skin tonight. No seasons left... no seasons left, You're the fire that keeps me alight. [violins rise slightly, warm layer + trumpets build short syncopated + organ rolls] [Bridge 2: 27.6s guitar solo w/ flanger – starts wavy, adds delay after 10s; violin pad thickens; trumpets riff long & funky; electric bass walking low, insistent slides up/down, feedback fades at end, melts into main groove] Verse 3 (solo male voice, deeper) Your face revives what death would claim, your form, like Nefertiti's grace, A whispered breeze that bears my name, and wraps me in its warm embrace. No more I seek the heavens' fire, nor shadows where the lost ones roam; In you alone my heart's desire—a single breath, and I'm at home. Outro (women fade + instrumental wind-down) No room... no seasons... Just you... just you... [violins linger, slow decay + last trumpet "bah..." echo + organ fades like smoke]
