Wind That Brings You Home
Instrumental
[Verse] The valley breathes a low, sweet hum, Whistles catch the breeze—do, re, mi—come. A shape appears, swift as the morning light, Arlo’s steps drum the path, a blur in flight. [Pre-Chorus] Every note a summons, carved from clear bamboo, A call threading through pine and dew, Quickening heartbeats in sync with the song, Running to where the wild belongs. [Chorus] Do, re, mi, re—Arlo's call rides the wind, Do, la, do—echoes thin, Mi, sol, mi, re, do—homebound thrum, That lively cry, the bond becomes. [Verse] Sun splashes gold upon russet mane, Dust swirls in riot, the valley sings again. Whistles leap over stones and streams, Chasing shadows, sparking dreams. [Pre-Chorus] Notes leap like fireflies on a summer night, Spelling out friendship in musical light. From distant hills a response so true, Arlo answers, racing through. [Chorus] Do, re, mi, re—Arlo's call rides the wind, Do, la, do—echoes thin, Mi, sol, mi, re, do—homebound thrum, That lively cry, the bond becomes. [Bridge] Silent space between each phrase—breath held tight, A pause as wild meets gentle sight. Flute’s voice hanging clear and thin, Arlo’s nearness pulling skin. [Chorus] Do, re, mi, re—Arlo's call rides the wind, Do, la, do—echoes thin, Mi, sol, mi, re, do—homebound thrum, That lively cry, the bond becomes. [Outro] Soft fading notes like footsteps slow, A faithful friend in twilight's glow. Arlo's call—a thread we sew, Between the wild and home to go.
