Whispers Over Gold (versión 2)

Intro

Whispers over gold

Bare feet on the hardwood floor

(hold breath)

Verse

I walk the length of your four walls

Finger tracing every scratch and stain

Your grandmother's recipe still stuck to the glass

And I can almost smell what you remember in there

(swallow)

A silver spoon in a cup of tea

Your mother's voice reading to me

In the old armchair where nobody sits

I feel all the warmth that we've been missing

(nod)

Pre-Chorus

Do you hear it too? The hum rising low?

Like every door, like every light, like every piece of us back home

(yes)

Chorus

Whispers over gold

Every memory turns to liquid gold

Whispers over gold

And I know that this is where we were meant to be found

Here in the fading light of a single sunbeam

Where the air thickens with what we used to mean

Verse 2

Your grandmother's silver locket on the mantel shelf

A lock of baby hair tied up like a little chief

The same four windows that looked out at your childhood sky

Now they frame me, now I see why this place feels like home to me

(smile)

I walk these steps and I hear you there

Laughing in the kitchen while I was learning how to pray

Your mother's hands moving across my skin

Tracing lines that only mothers know

(yes)

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it now? The whole room turning bright?

Like we're the same two kids, still dancing under stars and streetlights tonight

(yes)

Chorus

Whispers over gold

Every memory turns to liquid gold

Whispers over gold

And I know that this is where we were meant to be found

Here in the fading light of a single sunbeam

Where the air thickens with what we used to mean

Bridge

(hush)

Look how far we've come

But look closer still and every step back was a thread

Tying us to this one small place where we were both found

Not just strangers, not just now, but all along

(nod)

Chorus

Whispers over gold

Every memory turns to liquid gold

Whispers over gold

And I know that this is where we were meant to be found

Here in the fading light of a single sunbeam

Where the air thickens with what we used to mean
