Sundial Skies (Version 2)

Verse

Parked on the crest where daybreak turns to grey

Sundial clock on your arm starts keeping time

Bicycle chain clicking through the dew and dust

You hold up a cassette with static hiss

I remember every song we let go of first

I'll be right here when the sun breaks through

And you can turn around and drive it slow again with me

Pre-Chorus

Streetlights in your eyes like they're running late

Tell me if this hour means something more than what's been left

Chorus

Sundial skies, we keep the rhythm in time

Windows down where morning light turns golden high

This is how we make our own goodnight

We never lose each other out here, not tonight

Verse 2

Mountain ridges glow like a painter's color wheel

Headlights casting long shadows on the road behind

Your palm presses mine against the dashboard heat

And I know we're keeping time with something we've yet to find

I pull over by the lake where we used to play

The water's calm and empty but for the way you sway

You hum a song before it starts, before it fades

And every sunset brings us back to this place

Pre-Chorus

Streetlights in your eyes like they're running late

Tell me if this hour means something more than what's been left

Chorus

Sundial skies, we keep the rhythm in time

Windows down where morning light turns golden high

This is how we make our own goodnight

We never lose each other out here, not tonight

Bridge

No watch can count this hour, no map can lead us home

The sundial only moves for those who've learned to go with it alone

I don't need a clock when the sky goes gold and wide

You're the one I'm waiting for, you're the one I'll never lose tonight

Chorus

Sundial skies, we keep the rhythm in time

Windows down where morning light turns golden high

This is how we make our own goodnight

We never lose each other out here, not tonight
