Porch Swing Sunrise 2 (versie 2)

Intro

(whispered) Hey

(chime) Five till seven

Verse

Four miles of gravel down from town

We park the truck by your family's crown

Your grandma's rocking chair still warm from tea

The porch swing hangs loose where the wind wants to be

Pre-Chorus

So you lean back on the rope with me tonight

Watch the sky turn silver behind the trees' thin light

And I can hear the engine dying down below

Is it the dawn or your smile making me glow?

Chorus

Porch swing sunrise, taking my breath away

Two hours before daybreak but we already have our own way

Your palm against mine where the swing goes slow and wide

This is where I want to stay till the stars decide

Porch swing sunrise, turning over like a page

Every yellow ray lands right on your face

Verse

Your mom's in the kitchen fixing up what's left of coffee

Your little sister sleeping on a blanket at our feet

The cicadas keep time under all that quiet light

You're smiling soft and I don't think we'll ever take flight

Pre-Chorus

So you lean back on the rope with me tonight

Watch the sky turn silver behind the trees' thin light

And I can hear the engine dying down below

Is it the dawn or your smile making me glow?

Chorus

Porch swing sunrise, taking my breath away

Two hours before daybreak but we already have our own way

Your palm against mine where the swing goes slow and wide

This is where I want to stay till the stars decide

Porch swing sunrise, turning over like a page

Every yellow ray lands right on your face

Bridge

No hurry here. No schedule to keep.

Just this porch, just you, just what's left of sleep

Your eyes are open wide and they're not looking at me

They're watching the sky turn into whatever it's gonna be

Chorus

Porch swing sunrise, taking my breath away

Two hours before daybreak but we already have our own way

Your palm against mine where the swing goes slow and wide

This is where I want to stay till the stars decide

Porch swing sunrise, turning over like a page

Every yellow ray lands right on your face

Outro

(whispered) Hey
