August Artist Remix Challenge

[Intro / sparse, intimate female vocal] August is thinning at the edges, the light doesn't stay as long. Heat still sleeping on the pavement, but something in the air has gone. Someone calls it end of summer, like we're losing something dear. I call it room to breathe. Something else is almost here. [Verse 1] Windows open, voices spilling, every colour turned too high. Days that never seem to soften, nowhere for the mind to hide. Then a shadow crosses daylight, cool air moving through the street. Something shifts without permission and the whole world changes key. [Pre-Chorus] Don't hold the light. Don't make it stay. Nothing beautiful stands still. Nothing living ever will. [Chorus] Let it turn, let it turn, green to amber, warm to rain. Lose one shape, become again nothing beautiful stays the same. Let it turn, let it turn, let the evening take the blue. Summer taught the world to bloom. Autumn teaches it to let go. Maybe I can learn that too. [Instrumental] Let it turn... Let it turn... [Verse 2] Soon the rain will fall without warning, silver running down the glass. People disappearing under umbrellas, waiting for the clouds to pass. I'll keep walking through the weather, water running through my hair. Funny how the sky grows heavier and I feel lighter there. [Bridge] We hold people like the branches hold their leaves against the sky. As if loving something deeply means it never gets to die. But autumn calls no leaf a failure just because it has to fall. What we loved is never gone. It changes shape and carries on. [Build] Let August leave in pieces. Let September find my skin. Every ending changes colour when you stop calling it an end. [Final Chorus] Let it turn, let it turn, nothing beautiful stands still. Green to amber, warm to rain, lose one shape, become again. Let it turn, let it turn, I can feel the whole world move. Summer taught me how to bloom. Autumn teach me how to let go. [Outro] Someone calls it end of summer. I watch the rain erase the heat. No umbrella. Just the water... and the whole sky touching me.
