Palm Frond Prayer (النسخة 2)

Verse

Copper light spilling on the courtyard tile

Lanterns swinging slow like they know my smile

Your palm brushes mine while we sway to nothing at all

Night is humming a prayer that the streets never heard before

The DJ's hands move like he's caught in it too

Nobody's talking, but I understand you

Barefoot on cracked earth and warm amber glow

This is how the rhythm says goodbye slow

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the low drum calling your name?

Can you hear the city breathe out its refrain?

Something gold is rising where our shadows cross over

Tell me what the night is trying to show us now

Every breath feels lighter, every step feels free

This is how we answer when there's nothing left to see

Chorus

Palm frond prayer on a summer rooftop sky

Hands up, heart open wide, we let it fly

Sunlight turns to gold and the beat won't let us leave

We're dancing out the hour, we're dancing for me

Palm frond prayer on a summer rooftop sky

Nothing matters now but this one warm sigh

Verse

Saltwater air drifting up from the harbor below

Two strangers swaying where the speaker lights glow

Your fingers trace circles in the amber light

Every passing second feels like an invitation tonight

The bassline drops and we rise together still

Chasing fireflies through a golden, sleepy hill

No clock to answer when the horn line starts to climb

This is how the night says stay with me just this one time

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the low drum calling your name?

Can you hear the city breathe out its refrain?

Something gold is rising where our shadows cross over

Tell me what the night is trying to show us now

Every breath feels lighter, every step feels free

This is how we answer when there's nothing left to see

Chorus

Palm frond prayer on a summer rooftop sky

Hands up, heart open wide, we let it fly

Sunlight turns to gold and the beat won't let us leave

We're dancing out the hour, we're dancing for me

Palm frond prayer on a summer rooftop sky

Nothing matters now but this one warm sigh

Bridge

Maybe tonight was always going to end this way

But what if forgetting's the only truth we need to say?

No names exchanged and I don't want them now

Just your hand in mine, just this quiet sound

The whole city breathing slow as the drum fades low

This is how the gold goodbye becomes a glow

Chorus

Palm frond prayer on a summer rooftop sky

Hands up, heart open wide, we let it fly

Sunlight turns to gold and the beat won't let us leave

We're dancing out the hour, we're dancing for me

Palm frond prayer on a summer rooftop sky

Nothing matters now but this one warm sigh
