Deep Roots

[Verse 1 – Father]
Late train on the platform
Old hands in my pockets
Sky turns deeper blue
Empty benches, restless air
Leaves swirling toward the gate
Bit of sun on your jacket
I watch you not turning back

[Verse 2 – Son]
Clouds under the wing
Passport heavy in my chest
Faces pass in silence
Ticket crumpled in my palm
Winter waits somewhere far
Heartbeat running ahead
Wind taking what’s left of home

[Chorus – Duet, male voices]
Roots grow deeper when leaves fly
Eyes lock—a kiss without lips
You walk one road, I stay behind
Scars that never scar, drift with time

[Interlude]
[Guitar: melodic arpeggios, gentle synth]

[Verse 3 – Father]
Empty table by the window
Dinner for one, untouched bread
Names on postcards fade
Laughter caught in old rooms
Phone rings, I almost answer
Your voice—an echo, thin
Footsteps never reach the door

[Verse 4 – Son]
Dawn on new streets
Shirt still smells like home
Foreign names on neon boards
Cold air, distant traffic
Hands searching coat sleeves
New dreams, same ache

[Bridge – Overlapping]
Why does everyone leave?
Birds drawn to the sky (Birds drawn to the sky)
Why does everyone leave?
Still, the roots hold, roots hold (Still, the roots hold)

[Chorus – Duet, lifted key, crescendo]
Roots grow deeper when leaves fly
Eyes lock—a kiss without lips
You walk one road, I stay behind
Scars that never scar, drift with time

[Outro]
[Guitar fades, reverb swells, distant rain]
