Skyline Calling (version 2)

Intro

Gold light on my skin tonight

Hold the beat right there

Verse 1 – male vocal

Copper dust in the streetlight glow

Bassline low where we already know

No clock ticking by that iron rail

Just the rhythm pulling us down the trail

Pre-Chorus – female vocal, breathy and close

Can you hear it calling through the wire?

Feel the ground start to fire

Chorus – full band, both vocals together

Skyline calling, hands up high

I feel alive tonight

Gold on my skin, gold in your eyes

Skyline calling, hold on tight

We don't need a reason, we just rise

Verse 2 – female vocal

Sweat like amber running down the glass

City hum fading into this vast

Somebody's shoulder tapping out the time

Nobody's watching hours, nobody's counting the dime

Pre-Chorus – male vocal, low and urgent

Can you hear it climbing up your spine?

Let go now, let go now, all at once in time

Chorus – full band, both vocals together

Skyline calling, hands up high

I feel alive tonight

Gold on my skin, gold in your eyes

Skyline calling, hold on tight

We don't need a reason, we just rise

Bridge – soft accordion, shakers only, no drums

Every window catching the glow

Nobody leaving till this song lets go

Chorus – full band, both vocals together

Skyline calling, hands up high

I feel alive tonight

Gold on my skin, gold in your eyes

Skyline calling, hold on tight

We don't need a reason, we just rise

[Outro – accordion solo, shakers fade slowly
