Verse 1
Poured the sweet mint from a foot above the glass
Shadows lengthen as the saffron carts go past
You kick your sandals on the terracotta floor
I haven't thought about my ticket anymore
Sun catches copper in the hollow of your throat
Quiet laugh that keeps the heavy world afloat
Pre-Chorus
The evening drums begin to wake the stone
How did a stranger make me feel at home?
Are we crossing over now?
Chorus
Gold spills over all the clay and stone
Suddenly I never want to walk alone
Heartbeat matches up to yours in time
Falling so easy on the Medina skyline
Under the Medina skyline
Verse 2
Cedar smoke is drifting from the street below
Lantern flickers with a slow and steady glow
You lean your shoulder on my linen sleeve
Giving me a hundred reasons not to leave
A silver bracelet clicking on your wrist
Nothing in the world I could have missed
Pre-Chorus
The evening drums begin to wake the stone
How did a stranger make me feel at home?
Are we crossing over now?
Chorus
Gold spills over all the clay and stone
Suddenly I never want to walk alone
Heartbeat matches up to yours in time
Falling so easy on the Medina skyline
Under the Medina skyline
Bridge
I kept a packed bag waiting by the wall
Always too guarded for the sudden fall
Now the swallows dive and the dusk unwinds
I want everything we came to find
Chorus
Gold spills over all the clay and stone
Suddenly I never want to walk alone
Heartbeat matches up to yours in time
Falling so easy on the Medina skyline
Under the Medina skyline
