Golden Thaw Anthem (version 2)

Verse

Last train's gone, the taxis thin

Neon fading on my skin

Someone's laughing by the door

Shoes in hand across the floor

Streetlamp flickers, then goes pale

Sky behind the water tower veil

My heart still counts the bassline's time

Walking home on the yellow line

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the black turn blue

Every step, I'm closer to

The hour when the night lets go

Watch it climbing, watch it glow

Chorus

Golden thaw, melting through

Ice on the rooftops turning to dew

Golden thaw, over you

Sunrise breaking, breaking through

Verse

Rooftop pigeons start to stir

Café shutters make a blur

Steam rings rising off the cup

Whole world slowly waking up

Frost is thinning on the glass

Every hour we made will pass

But right now the light is mine

Melting soft along the skyline

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the black turn blue

Every step, I'm closer to

The hour when the night lets go

Watch it climbing, watch it glow

Chorus

Golden thaw, melting through

Ice on the rooftops turning to dew

Golden thaw, over you

Sunrise breaking, breaking through

Bridge

Hold the frost before it's gone

Hold the hush before the dawn

One more breath of amber air

Then we let it, let it flare

Chorus

Golden thaw, melting through

Ice on the rooftops turning to dew

Golden thaw, over you

Sunrise breaking, breaking through
