Medina Skyline

Verse 1

Poured the sweet mint from a foot above the glass

Shadows lengthen as the saffron carts go past

You kick your sandals on the terracotta floor

I haven't thought about my ticket anymore

Sun catches copper in the hollow of your throat

Quiet laugh that keeps the heavy world afloat

Pre-Chorus

The evening drums begin to wake the stone

How did a stranger make me feel at home?

Are we crossing over now?

Chorus

Gold spills over all the clay and stone

Suddenly I never want to walk alone

Heartbeat matches up to yours in time

Falling so easy on the Medina skyline

Under the Medina skyline

Verse 2

Cedar smoke is drifting from the street below

Lantern flickers with a slow and steady glow

You lean your shoulder on my linen sleeve

Giving me a hundred reasons not to leave

A silver bracelet clicking on your wrist

Nothing in the world I could have missed

Pre-Chorus

The evening drums begin to wake the stone

How did a stranger make me feel at home?

Are we crossing over now?

Chorus

Gold spills over all the clay and stone

Suddenly I never want to walk alone

Heartbeat matches up to yours in time

Falling so easy on the Medina skyline

Under the Medina skyline

Bridge

I kept a packed bag waiting by the wall

Always too guarded for the sudden fall

Now the swallows dive and the dusk unwinds

I want everything we came to find

Chorus

Gold spills over all the clay and stone

Suddenly I never want to walk alone

Heartbeat matches up to yours in time

Falling so easy on the Medina skyline

Under the Medina skyline
