Braai Sunset Fading Slow (Version 2)

Verse

Braai still hot under the stars above

Your hand in mine on the concrete floor

Ice melting slow in the cooler's chest

Sun sets over the rooftops where we used to go

Tongs on the fence post, ash flying high

Your eyes locked steady, no need for a reply

Cigarette smoke drifting into the street

The braai fire humming like it still remembers our beat

Bare feet on the grass and the silence is loud

We're not leaving yet

Chorus

Braai sunset fading slow

Keep your hand in mine and let the night go

Smoke rising from the coals we made

Braai sunset fading, I'm right here with you instead

Braai sunset fading slow

Let it burn till morning light starts to show

We're not done yet, don't say goodbye

Braai sunset fading slow

This is where the whole day came undone and flew by

Verse

Your mom's old plate in your hand full of cold beer

The street lights flicker on but we don't care

Neighbours gone home with their children asleep

Just us and the coals and the dark and our own heartbeat

I learned to love you from this very spot

Where the city ends and something real starts to plot

Your voice is low over the hum of the night air

The braai fire burning, our hearts still there

Chorus

Braai sunset fading slow

Keep your hand in mine and let the night go

Smoke rising from the coals we made

Braai sunset fading, I'm right here with you instead

Braai sunset fading slow

Let it burn till morning light starts to show

We're not done yet, don't say goodbye

Braai sunset fading slow

This is where the whole day came undone and flew by

Chorus

Braai sunset fading slow

Keep your hand in mine and let the night go

Smoke rising from the coals we made

Braai sunset fading, I'm right here with you instead

Braai sunset fading slow

Let it burn till morning light starts to show

We're not done yet, don't say goodbye

Braai sunset fading slow

This is where the whole day came undone and flew by
