[Verse 1] Midnight folds the mountain thin, The telescope begins again. A single lamp, a faithful glow, Watching places no one knows. I leave another note on tape, Just the weather, just the date. The reels turn slow beneath my hand... Then someone whispers my own name. [Pre-Chorus] She laughs the way I always do, Only softened into blue. She says, "Tomorrow, close the western door." Morning proves she knew before. [Chorus] Who are you Living in my voice? Borrowing tomorrow, Leaving me a choice. Every quiet warning Finds the morning light. Am I hearing memories... Or tomorrow every night? [Verse 2] "The coffee falls on chart seventeen." I smile before the stain is seen. "The relay sleeps before first light." The mountain keeps her promise right. She never speaks of distant wars, Only little ordinary scars. "Call your sister while she's home." Some silences are carved in stone. [Bridge] One by one, The warnings fade. Now she speaks Of light and shade. "The wind on steel... The smell of rain... Don't spend your whole life Naming stars You never truly came to know." (Instrumental – drums disappear) [Recording] (Almost whispered) If you're hearing this... I've already forgotten How young your hands feel. Tomorrow... Please... Don't press play. (Long pause) Go outside. [Final Chorus] So I leave The room behind. One last reel Still turns in time. Above the dome The heavens bloom, A million lights Inside the gloom. No voice remains. No future calls. Only breathing... Only stars. [Outro] The telescope Finds one more sky. Morning comes... Without goodbye.
