Grey Haze Over Concrete (versie 2)

Verse

Puddles hold the day's last heat

Fog climbs slow from the gutter steam

Sneakers quiet on the wet macadam

City breathing through the drain

Lamp post dripping silver on the sidewalk

Nobody hurries down this lane

Rooftop water tank glowing amber

Sky turns violet, then it's done

I keep my shadow by the fire hydrant

Letting night come one at a time

Pre-Chorus

Rain stops just before it hits

Clouds forget where they drift

Something quiet holding its breath

Before the dark turns to depth

Chorus

Grey haze over concrete, gold on wet stone

Nobody's racing home tonight alone

Just the hush and the fog rolling through

This is me learning what it means to break through

Verse 2

Steam off the streetlamp climbs my sleeve

Paper cup gone cold in my hand

Windows down a few blocks away

Someone's hum bleeds into this land

I don't need to know their name or song

The silence moves along

Sweat dries slow as the dark turns deep

Tires quiet on a road still warm

Nothing here is trying to be kept

Every grey cloud has an underside

Pre-Chorus

Rain stops just before it hits

Clouds forget where they drift

Something quiet holding its breath

Before the dark turns to depth

Chorus

Grey haze over concrete, gold on wet stone

Nobody's racing home tonight alone

Just the hush and the fog rolling through

This is me learning what it means to break through

Bridge

Maybe every end is just a door

Maybe calm doesn't ask for more

The rain comes back when it's ready to fall

I'll stay right here before the storm

Chorus

Grey haze over concrete, gold on wet stone

Nobody's racing home tonight alone

Just the hush and the fog rolling through

This is me learning what it means to break through
