# **One Day Beneath the Sun** ### Verse I I woke without a name, Morning in my hands. The sky knew more than I ever could, The wind slipped through my skin. Every breath was borrowed. Every moment, thin. Your voice arrived before the light, Like a ghost I'd always been. ### Chorus Once beneath the sun, Then swallowed by the night. Every golden hour falling Out of reaching hands. If I fade with evening, Will the stars remember me? Or am I only rain Lost inside the sea? ### Verse II I chased the dying daylight Through rivers made of gold. Every beautiful thing I touched Was already letting go. The birds flew past in silence. The shadows learned my face. Even the wind forgot my name Before I left this place. ### Chorus Once beneath the sun, Then swallowed by the night. Every dream dissolving Into fading light. If I fade with evening, Leave no trace behind. Only one brief heartbeat Drifting out of time. ### Bridge Don't close the sky... Not yet. There's still a colour I haven't become. Don't let the daylight Forget me. ### Final Chorus Once beneath the sun... just once ... Only once... I was here Between the light And the dark. ### Fade Out *(Music strips back to bass, icy synths and distant guitar. Male voice grows quieter while female harmonies float around it.)* **Male (repeating, softer each time):** Once beneath the sun... Once beneath the sun... I fade... I fade... **Female whispers:** Remember... Or forget... Remember... Or forget... **Both (barely audible):** Like rain... Like rain... Like rain... *(Everything slowly dissolves into echoing guitar feedback, whispered breaths and reverb until only the synth pad remains.)*
