Umqondana (έκδοση 2)

Verse

Streetlights bleeding into amber and gold

Your sandals on the concrete, I'm holding my own

Rooftop wind blowing out all that we've been told

Saltwater taste like it's trying to break through to bone

Pre-Chorus

So what do we call this when we're standing alone at sunset?

Do we chase it down or let it fade away, oh...

Chorus

Umqondana — gold in the air tonight

Burning up everything that isn't right

Hands up high like we don't care about the night

Rising into something brighter than light

This is umqondana — fire, gold and free

Running wild for the first time I ever see

Verse

Cassette tape playing your old favorite song

Palm trees swaying slow like they're singing along

Every goodbye in our history turns to gold

Like the city's just holding something beautiful we don't know yet

Pre-Chorus

So what do we call this when we're standing alone at sunset?

Do we chase it down or let it fade away, oh...

Chorus

Umqondana — gold in the air tonight

Burning up everything that isn't right

Hands up high like we don't care about the night

Rising into something brighter than light

This is umqondana — fire, gold and free

Running wild for the first time I ever see

Bridge

Maybe it's not the leaving, maybe it's the landing

Maybe this is what every ending is meant to be

So let the dust behind us turn to amber and rust

We're becoming something that's never been before

Chorus

Umqondana — gold in the air tonight

Burning up everything that isn't right

Hands up high like we don't care about the night

Rising into something brighter than light

This is umqondana — fire, gold and free

Running wild for the first time I ever see
