Lyrics
[Verse 1] City lights, a faded streak, reflectin' in the window pane Headlights blur, a silent plea, to make this feel less strange My sweaty palms, I try to hide, beneath this worn-out denim jacket Then your hand, it brushes mine, and suddenly the world stops crackin' [Chorus] Like a hay bale halo in the golden afternoon All the noise just fades away, under this harvest moon A silent promise hangs in the air, a melody unwritten Just one touch, and I swear, the fall has already begun [Verse 2] Windmill turns, a rusty song, across the fields of amber grain Your stories flow, where did you go? Through sunshine and through rain Each whispered word, a gentle breeze, a touch that sends a shiver down This ain't just a ride on a dusty road, this is a small-town, country crown [Chorus] Like a hay bale halo in the golden afternoon All the noise just fades away, under this harvest moon A silent promise hangs in the air, a melody unwritten Just one touch, and I swear, the fall has already begun [Bridge] I've chased these dreams, on neon streets, and found nothin' but lonely light But right here now, beneath these stars, feels perfectly, undeniably right This ain't no Hollywood fairy tale, just honest hearts and open skies And in your eyes, I see a future, where a simple love never dies [Chorus] Like a hay bale halo in the golden afternoon All the noise just fades away, under this harvest moon A silent promise hangs in the air, a melody unwritten Just one touch, and I swear, the fall has already begun [Outro] Yeah, the fall has already begun With you, with you, under the setting sun. The fall has already begun.
