A Thousand Hours Lost in the Fading Light (versie 2)

Verse 1

Bicycle chain rattling against the sidewalk rail

Salt on my collar where your fingers stayed

Sun is dipping below the buildings now

Your scarf's still wrapped in mine

Pre-Chorus

What if this isn't an ending but a start?

Every shadow here begins again tomorrow

Chorus

A thousand hours lost in the fading light

But I'd spend them all to find what we just found tonight

Snowflakes falling slow and our breath still warm

I'll hold onto every piece of your skin

Keep it safe for the days when the road gets thin

Verse 2

Subway rumble shaking through your palm

Streetlamp humming a low blue hum

You said don't forget to check on your sister

That she's counting down to a warm supper

Bus pulls out and you're gone, lost in smoke

But I know your name, your laugh and the way

Pre-Chorus

What if this isn't an ending but a start?

Every shadow here begins again tomorrow

Chorus

A thousand hours lost in the fading light

But I'd spend them all to find what we just found tonight

Snowflakes falling slow and our breath still warm

I'll hold onto every piece of your skin

Keep it safe for the days when the road gets thin

Bridge

Maybe love isn't something you catch but keep

Maybe a memory's worth holding on to instead

Chorus

A thousand hours lost in the fading light

But I'd spend them all to find what we just found tonight

Snowflakes falling slow and our breath still warm

I'll hold onto every piece of your skin

Keep it safe for the days when the road gets thin
