[Intro: Soft fingerpicked open-tuned acoustic guitar, intimate and spacious] [Verse A1] When curtain edges bleed into soft white A gentle weight rests on the blanket's side A damp nose touches palms in morning light Signaling the day can no longer hide [Verse A2] Eyes held shut, begging for a moment more An old excuse repeated every dawn Yet you know the truth behind the door I will rise before the shadow's gone [Bridge B] The leash clip jingles soft and clear Lacing shoes while eager breaths draw near Sensing air beyond the wooden frame Tail keeping rhythm to a silent game [Instrumental: Slow expressive acoustic guitar melody, unhurried and open] [Verse A3] Stepping through the gate, morning rays sway low You turn the corner first, then pause to stay Waiting for my steps, steady and slow Our quiet promise at the break of day [Outro] Tomorrow morning and the days ahead The same path shines where we are led
