Sundowners on the Rooftop

Verse

Ice in the bucket, gone soft and thin

Rooftop tiles still warm on my skin

Log drum shaking through the concrete floor

Six a.m. and we still want more

Someone's shoes left by the pool

Sax player packing up, playing it cool

Sky turned orange behind the water tank

Pour the last one, watch the horizon blank

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing, climbing, climbing slow

City wakes up underneath the glow

Hold my hand, don't let the moment go

Are we going home, or

Chorus

Sundowners on the rooftop, turning into sunrise

Gold light on your shoulders, catching in your eyes

We been dancing since the moon was high

Now it's morning and we don't know why

We don't wanna say goodbye

Sundowners on the rooftop, painted in the sunrise

Verse

Bassline humming through the empty street

Taxi hooters keeping time with the beat

Vendor lighting up his little tin stove

Steam and smoke where the amapiano flows

My feet are tired but my heart's still light

Somebody's cousin still chasing the night

Pass the bottle, pass it one more round

Sun coming up over Joburg town

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing, climbing, climbing slow

City wakes up underneath the glow

Hold my hand, don't let the moment go

Are we going home, or

Chorus

Sundowners on the rooftop, turning into sunrise

Gold light on your shoulders, catching in your eyes

We been dancing since the moon was high

Now it's morning and we don't know why

We don't wanna say goodbye

Sundowners on the rooftop, painted in the sunrise

Bridge

No sleep, no shame, we chase the gold

Every weekend feels brand new, never old

The DJ's fading, the birds come in

This is where the night and morning spin

Chorus

Sundowners on the rooftop, turning into sunrise

Gold light on your shoulders, catching in your eyes

We been dancing since the moon was high

Now it's morning and we don't know why

We don't wanna say goodbye

Sundowners on the rooftop, painted in the sunrise
