Skyline Burning Slow (النسخة 2)

Verse

Last light fading through the taxi rank glass

Streetlamp flickers slow like it's holding on at last

Your shoulder leaning warm against my own

We been dancing since the sun went stone

Bassline drops and the whole block sways

Nobody's tired, nobody pays

Salt on your collarbone, smoke in your eyes

This is our hour before the sunrise lies

Pre-Chorus

So let it hold a little longer still

Let the night keep spinning like it will

We don't have to go where the morning calls

The beat won't let us leave these walls

Chorus

Skyline burning slow over Soweto town

Gold on every rooftop, holding up the crown

Hands in the air till the dark turns light

Skyline burning slow, we're still right tonight

Sun's coming up but I don't wanna know

Keep this hour, keep it slow, keep it low

Verse

Cigarette ember glowing red and grey

Whistle cuts through the dying day

You laugh like the whole street is ours to own

Every shadow turning into gold alone

Glass bottles empty on the concrete floor

Piano keys still ringing out for more

We don't need a reason, we just need this glow

This is how we say goodbye and go

Pre-Chorus

So let it hold a little longer still

Let the night keep spinning like it will

We don't have to go where the morning calls

The beat won't let us leave these walls

Chorus

Skyline burning slow over Soweto town

Gold on every rooftop, holding up the crown

Hands in the air till the dark turns light

Skyline burning slow, we're still right tonight

Sun's coming up but I don't wanna know

Keep this hour, keep it slow, keep it low

Bridge

Every window breaking into amber and blue

This is the color that the sky remembers too

So let the bass hold on a little longer now

We'll carry this light out with us somehow

No goodbyes till the hornline fades to white

Just you and me and the last of the night

Chorus

Skyline burning slow over Soweto town

Gold on every rooftop, holding up the crown

Hands in the air till the dark turns light

Skyline burning slow, we're still right tonight

Sun's coming up but I don't wanna know

Keep this hour, keep it slow, keep it low
