Orange Sunset on the Hill (versión 2)

Verse

Sixty bucks to the gas station pump

Empty tank and a half-full trust

Climbed that hill behind your house at four

Painted orange against the blue sky's rush

Rivulets of colour on the glass

Every window in this whole street caught it

The way the gold light bends across

I felt alive for thirty seconds flat

Pre-Chorus

Now I'm running out of time again

Your voice is fading through my chest

Tell me one thing I should let go of now

Before the dark moves in and kills the rest

Chorus

Orange sunset on the hill

You were holding my hand, it was real

Gold light burning where you stand

This is something I shouldn't miss at all

Verse 2

Four weeks later we stood right here again

Sixteen dollars for a small slice of pie

Same bench, same view, your eyes still shining

I said I'd meet you on that hill the week before I move to LA

You laughed and said what's the hurry now?

Watch the horizon change with me somehow

For just one more minute let's not think

Let the colours run right off the edge of time

Pre-Chorus

Now I'm running out of time again

Your voice is fading through my chest

Tell me one thing I should let go of now

Before the dark moves in and kills the rest

Chorus

Orange sunset on the hill

You were holding my hand, it was real

Gold light burning where you stand

This is something I shouldn't miss at all

Bridge

Maybe every sunset we almost catch

Is just a doorway to another one that's coming back

Not the one that's gone but not yet left

I won't let this go until it turns dark

Chorus

Orange sunset on the hill

You were holding my hand, it was real

Gold light burning where you stand

This is something I shouldn't miss at all
