Grey Skies and Gold (Version 2)

Verse 1

Grey clouds roll in off the harbor

Dust settles slow on the windowsill

Your jacket's hanging where it was left

Fading light turns your collar to chill

I hum a low note that drifts away

Breeze through the gap keeps the room grey

Sweat drys cool against my skin

Nothing moves but the shadows within

Pre-Chorus

Hold this quiet, don't let it fall

Chorus

Grey skies and gold

Gold on your skin in the fading cold

Grey skies and gold

Every shadow keeps its hold

We stay right here till the dark comes round

Keep the light where it's found

Verse 2

Tide pulls out leaving empty sand

Ribs of the old pier turn to rust and grey

Your hair curls wet against your collarbone

Bare feet still warm on the porch rail

I watch how the fog drifts through the slats

Catches every drop like a thousand tiny hearts

We sit quiet till the cold goes black

Hold the warmth in my chest

Pre-Chorus

Hold this quiet, don't let it fall

Chorus

Grey skies and gold

Gold on your skin in the fading cold

Grey skies and gold

Every shadow keeps its hold

We stay right here till the dark comes round

Keep the light where it's found

Bridge

No clock ticks the minutes away

Just this breath, just this haze

Nothing to chase but the glow we've got

So we'll hold this quiet like a ghost

Grey skies and gold still hanging in the air

We don't need tomorrow, not right here

Chorus

Grey skies and gold

Gold on your skin in the fading cold

Grey skies and gold

Every shadow keeps its hold

We stay right here till the dark comes round

Keep the light where it's found
