We chase the light before it's gone (النسخة 2)

Verse

Washing line swaying, pegs in a row

Granny's radio hums soft and low

Bicycle spokes catch amber and dust

Someone's calling us in for the crust

Sunlight climbing down the courtyard wall

Kids race the shadow before it falls

Pre-Chorus

Do we let it go, do we hold it tight

Minutes counting till it turns to night

Everybody's moving toward the gold

Chorus

We chase the light before it's gone

Barefoot running till the day moves on

Nobody's checking a screen tonight

We chase the light, we chase the light

Verse

Plastic chairs scraping on the concrete floor

Uncle's kettle whistling by the door

Orange curtain blowing through the frame

Everyone answers to the same name

Washing dry now, folded warm and slow

Last bit of sun on the tin roof glow

Pre-Chorus

Do we let it go, do we hold it tight

Minutes counting till it turns to night

Everybody's moving toward the gold

Chorus

We chase the light before it's gone

Barefoot running till the day moves on

Nobody's checking a screen tonight

We chase the light, we chase the light

Bridge

No need to save it, no need to send

This kind of gold doesn't need a friend

Just dust on our feet and the fading heat

We're not losing time, we're complete

Chorus

We chase the light before it's gone

Barefoot running till the day moves on

Nobody's checking a screen tonight

We chase the light, we chase the light
