Sundowners on Vilakazi (Version 2)

Verse

Ice melting slow in the cup on the ledge

Gold on the rooftops, we dancing on the edge

Vilakazi humming, the taxis roll by

Amber and dust catching light in your eyes

Bassline still moving beneath my feet

Six in the morning but nobody leaves

Smoke from the braai drifting soft through the air

We chase one more hour before we're not there

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it turning gold

Sky and skin, one and the same

Hold the night, don't let it go

Just a little longer, say my name

Chorus

Sundowners on Vilakazi

Sun's coming up but we ain't done, we ain't done

Glasses up, shadows lazy

Dancing where the night meets the sun

Verse

Concrete still warm from the heat of the floor

Somebody's laughing outside of the door

Piano keys sliding like honey and rust

Kicking up amber and orange in the dust

Your hand on my waist like the record won't skip

Sipping the last of the gold on my lip

Nobody's leaving, the DJ won't stop

Sun's climbing higher over the block

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it turning gold

Sky and skin, one and the same

Hold the night, don't let it go

Just a little longer, say my name

Chorus

Sundowners on Vilakazi

Sun's coming up but we ain't done, we ain't done

Glasses up, shadows lazy

Dancing where the night meets the sun

Bridge

Streetlights fading out one by one

Morning's soft where the night still hums

No goodbyes, just a slow sunrise

Painting gold over tired eyes

Chorus

Sundowners on Vilakazi

Sun's coming up but we ain't done, we ain't done

Glasses up, shadows lazy

Dancing where the night meets the sun
