Warm Hands in Gold Light (version 2)

Intro

Warm hands in the gold light

Verse 1 – male vocal

Sky turns silver, street still hums

Bass from downstairs finds my feet again

Gold on the water tank above us

Sun's slow bleeding through the blinds

Chorus – breathy chant

Let it hold, let it rise

Warm hands in gold light

Skin still humming where the bassline was

Let it hold, let it rise

Verse 2 – male vocal

Speaker cools on the balcony rail

City waking up with the same slow beat

Neighbours' shadows cross our window

Night folds into morning heat

Chorus – breathy chant

Let it hold, let it rise

Warm hands in gold light

Skin still humming where the bassline was

Let it hold, let it rise

Bridge – sparse chant and log drum only

Hold the glow

Let it stay

Sun's up now

Gold on our skin

Chorus – full group with marimba pluck

Let it hold, let it rise

Warm hands in gold light

Skin still humming where the bassline was

Let it hold, let it rise

Outro – chant and log drum fade out together

Let it hold

Gold light in
