Sands on Skin 2 (Version 2)

Intro

Salt on your lips, sand in my hand

Verse 1 – male vocal

Beachside bar, amber light on the water

Your smile cuts through, I lose track of hours

Every sip of rum tastes like a promise made

Your fingers find mine and the sun starts to fade

Pre-Chorus

Can we hold this feeling till it's gold?

Is there a way to slow down time when it turns cold?

Chorus

I want you here with me, under this open sky

Sands on skin where love won't say goodbye

Let the night keep burning like a low-flying sun

Every moment we hold is one that's never done

Verse 2 – male vocal

You find a seagull crying out in the dark

I take your hand and make it start to spark

A stranger at first but by the third drink

We're two shadows dancing where the water thinks

Pre-Chorus

Can we hold this feeling till it's gold?

Is there a way to slow down time when it turns cold?

Chorus

I want you here with me, under this open sky

Sands on skin where love won't say goodbye

Let the night keep burning like a low-flying sun

Every moment we hold is one that's never done

Bridge – layered female backing vocals

Just the waves and your voice in my ear

This is the only sound I need to hear

Not tomorrow or yesterday

Only this tonight, only this right here

Chorus

I want you here with me, under this open sky

Sands on skin where love won't say goodbye

Let the night keep burning like a low-flying sun

Every moment we hold is one that's never done
