"Golden Hours in December"
(Verse 1)
The air is warm, the sky’s alight,
A canvas painted with fire and twilight.
Mallacoota wakes to a whispered tune,
With colors ablaze from the sun and moon.
The lake reflects like a looking glass,
Islands sleeping as the moments pass.
A boat rests softly, its journey still,
As the morning hums with a quiet thrill.
(Chorus)
Oh, golden hours in December’s glow,
Where the lake meets the sea, and time moves slow.
With every breath, the day feels new,
In this endless summer hue.
(Verse 2)
The township stirs as the sun climbs high,
A gentle rhythm beneath the sky.
Foreshore paths and leafy lanes,
Soft breezes dancing with no refrain.
A saxophone breeze rolls through the trees,
Mingling with whispers of the morning seas.
The world feels light, the air alive,
A perfect morning to simply arrive.
(Chorus)
Oh, golden hours in December’s glow,
Where the lake meets the sea, and time moves slow.
With every breath, the day feels new,
In this endless summer hue.
(Bridge)
Piano chords in the tide’s retreat,
Harmony rises with footsteps sweet.
A melody born of land and breeze,
Where the forest sighs and the waters tease.
(Verse 3)
Clouds roll softly in painted streaks,
Their colors shift as the sun speaks.
The lake, the ocean, the endless sky,
They hold this moment as the hours fly.
The marina waits for the boats to wake,
But for now, it rests with the still, warm lake.
Each breath is a promise, each wave a song,
December mornings where we belong.
(Chorus)
Oh, golden hours in December’s glow,
Where the lake meets the sea, and time moves slow.
With every breath, the day feels new,
In this endless summer hue.
(Outro)
Let the day unfold, let the warmth remain,
In Mallacoota’s glow, where there’s no refrain.
Golden hours, a fleeting song,
But the memory lingers, forever strong.
This upbeat jazz ballad, infused with indie folk charm, captures the essence of a serene Mallacoota morning, blending the smooth rhythm of jazz with the storytelling heart of folk. Its melodies evoke the shimmering colors of the sunrise and the warm stillness of summer’s first light.
