River at Sundown (النسخة 2)

Verse

Woods along the riverbank still green

Mm / golden light across your face

You're humming something you don't share with me

But I hear it anyway in this hush of evening

Sweatshirt sleeves pulled down past the wrist

Steam rising from a cup that's been our only kiss

We haven't talked about tomorrow yet

Just this quiet hour before it gets dark again

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it coming over us slow

Like a tide that we can't hold back at all

No plans, no promises, just now

Nothing to lose and nothing left at all

Chorus

We're standing on the river at sundown

Water warm against your anklebone

Nobody's in a hurry here tonight

Just this gold across your face and mine

Every word we don't need to speak is loud

This whole wide world just narrowing down

Verse 2

Fishing line cast out into nothing blue

Nothing moving but the water and you

Your hand on my back, not holding tight

More like a promise of another night like this

We used to plan every little step we'd take

Now we're just letting time dissolve away for our sake

The stars are coming up behind those trees

And I don't need to say it — it's plain as can be

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it building over us slow

Like a tide that we can't hold back at all

No plans, no promises, just now

Nothing to lose and nothing left at all

Chorus

We're standing on the river at sundown

Water warm against your anklebone

Nobody's in a hurry here tonight

Just this gold across your face and mine

Every word we don't need to speak is loud

This whole wide world just narrowing down

Bridge

Maybe some things you don't say out loud

Are louder than any single thing I've ever found

So let the water keep running while we wait

Let tomorrow worry about itself — this is fate

This is where the quiet turns into a sound

The only promise that this river's ever made to me is now

Chorus

We're standing on the river at sundown

Water warm against your anklebone

Nobody's in a hurry here tonight

Just this gold across your face and mine

Every word we don't need to speak is loud

This whole wide world just narrowing down
