Autumn
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
You left your mug on the bench again
Warm from yesterday, still holding heat
No hurry to clear it, no need to explain
Just sitting there like it belonged

[Pre-chorus]
I watch the steam go where it must
Not because I’m waiting, not because I’m sad
But because I know you’ll come back

[Chorus]
Autumn, you’re the quiet I keep
Not loud, but deep
Autumn, I find you in the still
In the space you fill

[Verse 2]
Rain came down and missed the cup
Wood drank the damp, but it stayed dry
You didn’t cover it, didn’t rush up
Just trusted the morning to pass by

[Bridge]
Some people leave marks they want seen
You leave room to breathe, and that’s the peace

[Chorus]
Autumn, you’re the quiet I keep
Not loud, but deep
Autumn, I find you in the still
In the space you fill

[Outro]
The mug still waits, the bench still holds
Like you do—without asking, just so
