Creekbed Sunset 2 (Version 2)

Verse 1 – male vocal

Porch swing creaking under your weight

Sun setting slow behind the trees

Your hair catches gold in the fading light

And I know exactly where this ends

Same old creekbed, same old stone wall

You're learning my name for the third time now

Pre-Chorus – male and female

Tell me what you're thinking as that sun goes down

Is it something here or is it walking out of town?

Every word feels like a promise left unspoken

Do you think this is where we start to find our own path yet?

Chorus 1 – both voices

Oh, are we chasing the creekbed sunset tonight?

Watching stars come up through the same old pine

Every night feels like it's the very last one

But with your hand in mine, I never want this evening gone

Verse 2 – female vocal

Same old dirt road winding down to town

Your laughter echoes off the water's edge

I see the fireflies lighting up the grass

And for a second there, nothing feels unsure or fake

Pre-Chorus – male and female

Tell me what you're thinking as that sun goes down

Is it something here or is it walking out of town?

Every word feels like a promise left unspoken

Do you think this is where we start to find our own path yet?

Chorus 2 – both voices

Oh, are we chasing the creekbed sunset tonight?

Watching stars come up through the same old pine

Every night feels like it's the very last one

But with your hand in mine, I never want this evening gone

Bridge – male vocal only

Maybe these sunsets aren't a countdown

Just an invitation to drive into tomorrow

Chorus 3 – both voices

Oh, are we chasing the creekbed sunset tonight?

Watching stars come up through the same old pine

Every night feels like it's the very last one

But with your hand in mine, I never want this evening gone

Outro – soft, fading duet

Creekbed sunset...

Chasing the sun down to zero...
