Iron Skies (Version 2)

Intro

Iron skies are turning grey

Verse

Concrete's sweating under the streetlight glow

Your palm on my wrist where the dust used to go

Speakers still breathing like they won't let go

Taxi horns humming slow through the morning low

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it turn from gold to stone?

Hold my hand till the city's awake alone

Chorus

Iron skies, iron streets

Gold dust settling on your feet

Iron skies, hold me here

The floor still humming underneath us now

Verse

Shadows on the wall where the fire used to burn

Your breath on my collarbone in a language that yearns

City's waking up slow behind our closed doors

Sweat on the windows like it never leaves anymore

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it turn from gold to stone?

Hold my hand till the city's awake alone

Chorus

Iron skies, iron streets

Gold dust settling on your feet

Iron skies, hold me here

The floor still humming underneath us now

Bridge

We don't move till the sun hits the tar

Your fingers around mine like we're tied to the bar

Every footstep outside is a different tone

But this is where I stay until the night comes back home

Chorus

Iron skies, iron streets

Gold dust settling on your feet

Iron skies, hold me here

The floor still humming underneath us now
