Zipped the tent, the sky still blue
Wind smells like trees and something new
Crack of chips, a silly joke
Laughter rising with the smoke
We don’t need a single plan
Just a flame and steady hands
Setting up the night just right
Golden hour taking flight
Tent before sunset, hearts unwind
Packing stories, leaving time
Lanterns waiting to ignite
But for now, it’s warm and light
Tent before sunset, nothing more
Than this breeze and open door
Sleeping bags in tangled rows
Hoodies, flannels, tangled toes
You hum softly to the trees
I forget what day it is
We’ve got marshmallows and grace
And the world slows down its pace
Sky is peach and fading fast
But this feeling’s built to last
Tent before sunset, hearts unwind
Packing stories, leaving time
Lanterns waiting to ignite
But for now, it’s warm and light
Tent before sunset, nothing more
Than this breeze and open door
Later, stars will take their turn
And the fire will softly burn
But right now we’re in between
Just us and this golden scene
Tent before sunset, not a sound
Just the heartbeat of the ground
We don’t need to say a word
Let the stillness be our verse
Tent before sunset, all feels right
In your laugh and fading light
