[Lyrics:]

[Verse 1: Robust Male Vocal]
[Bossa Nova guitar arpeggios, light percussion]
Time flows like a river, stealing years away,
Memories flicker softly, like an old film’s fading frame.
Bitter lessons whispered, relics we can’t erase—
Wounds we’ve traced a thousand times, still aching in their place.
Oh, the joy of first embraces, stings of last goodbyes,
Echo through the midnight hours, dance behind my eyes.
Will the sun or stormy weather rewrite our destined page?
Maybe love could bend the seasons, rearrange the stage…

[Pre-Chorus: Male + Whispered Ad-libs]
[Duduk hums beneath vocals, percussion crescendo]
(You were…) A dream I couldn’t keep… (A dream…)
(You were…) A shadow’s slow retreat…

[Chorus: Male + Female Harmony]
[Afrobeat drums burst, major-key sax accents]
You were my mirage, my ghost, a half-remembered song—
I hear your voice in every breeze, it haunts me all day long.
Love was just a fever, a dance we couldn’t tame,
Now I whisper to the echoes, screaming your name…
(Your name… Your name…)

[Interlude: Duduk Solo]
[Melancholic duduk melody over Bossa guitar]

[Verse 2: Robust Male Vocal]
[Spanish guitar riff, strings build]
We’ve let the scars grow quiet, buried pride’s sharp blade,
You dreamed of fires burning—I was just the shade.
Life’s a reel of contrasts, you’re the sun, I’m the snow,
You’ll blaze as autumn’s amber… I’ll melt where spring winds blow.

[Repeat Chorus + Sax Solo]
[Sax wails, improvisational riffing]

[Hook: Call & Response]
[Orchestral hits, male/female vocals trade lines]
Male: You’ll be autumn… Female: (Crumbling leaves…)
Male: I’ll be spring… Female: (Blossoms in the rain…)
Both: Seasons never meeting, just chasing our own pain…

[Outro: Orchestral Crescendo]
[Strings swell, duduk reprise, fade on guitar tremolo]

[Fading out]
[End]
