Crystal Wire (Version 2)

Intro – wordless breathy vocal stack

Ohh, ohh-ah

Ohh, ohh-ah

Verse 1 – male

Snow on the antenna towers

Ravens on the line

Neon runes along the river

Your voice inside mine

Verse 1 – female

Every rooftop rings in silver

Every window wakes

The city holds its breath for us

Until the silence breaks

Pre-Chorus – duet

Pull it tight

Pull it tight

Light it up from sky to sky

Chorus – duet

Sing on the crystal wire

Sing on the crystal wire

Out in the cold, we carry fire

Sing on the crystal wire

Drop – wordless

Ohh-ah, ohh-ah

Crystal wire

Ohh-ah, ohh-ah

Crystal wire

Verse 2 – female

Bells across the frozen harbor

Bass beneath the floor

Strangers turning into chorus

No one alone anymore

Verse 2 – male

Northern lights across the cables

Flicker like a pilot flame

Every voice along the signal

Carries out your name

Pre-Chorus – duet

Pull it tight

Pull it tight

Light it up from sky to sky

Chorus – duet

Sing on the crystal wire

Sing on the crystal wire

Out in the cold, we carry fire

Sing on the crystal wire

Bridge – whispered

Hold the line

Hold the line

From the tower to the shore

Hold the line

Hold the line

I can hear you through the roar

Final Chorus – full stack

Sing on the crystal wire

Sing on the crystal wire

Out in the cold, we carry fire

Sing on the crystal wire

Outro – wordless

Ohh-ah, ohh-ah

Crystal wire
