Gold in the Rainlight (versie 2)

Verse

Rain on the windowpane in July

Sixteen petals floating by

Your jacket's left behind on the chair

Scent of wet earth hanging there

I'm counting every drop that falls

Not for tomorrow, just these walls

The clock forgets what time it keeps

We don't either, we don't need sleep

Pre-Chorus

So why does this hush feel like a door

Why does my chest keep opening wide for more

What if the falling isn't something to fear

Just something soft that settles here

Chorus

Gold in the rainlight, gold on the floor

Something big is unfolding, I don't want to hide anymore

Nothing left but the open sky

Letting go of everything to find myself alive

Every drop lands soft and slow

A little louder now than I've known

I was running so fast, I forgot how far I'd run

Now my shadow's dancing in the rain with me like everyone

Verse 2

Your boots are puddle-deep on the patio steps

Paper lanterns swinging from the eaves

The dog runs circles around our feet again

Chasing every memory we've never seen

You laugh at nothing, I laugh too

Rain's got a rhythm that pulls me to you

I used to think falling was losing control

Now it feels like a doorway that lets everything unfold

Pre-Chorus

So why does this hush feel like a door

Why does my chest keep opening wide for more

What if the falling isn't something to fear

Just something soft that settles here

Chorus

Gold in the rainlight, gold on the floor

Something big is unfolding, I don't want to hide anymore

Nothing left but the open sky

Letting go of everything to find myself alive

Every drop lands soft and slow

A little louder now than I've known

I was running so fast, I forgot how far I'd run

Now my shadow's dancing in the rain with me like everyone

Bridge

Maybe I never had to be so brave

Maybe falling just teaches how to stay awake

Your hand on mine is enough to prove

That every ending can still feel like home

So we'll dance in the puddles, watch them turn grey

And when they're gone, we'll know it was okay

Chorus

Gold in the rainlight, gold on the floor

Something big is unfolding, I don't want to hide anymore

Nothing left but the open sky

Letting go of everything to find myself alive

Every drop lands soft and slow

A little louder now than I've known

I was running so fast, I forgot how far I'd run

Now my shadow's dancing in the rain with me like everyone
