Verse 1
Dust on the leather bag beside my heel
Bitter orange rind on the copper sill
Two tickets stamped for noon out on the quay
You smile and hand the lighter back to me
No heavy words, no looking at the floor
Just midday heat vibrating through the door
Pre-Chorus
The tracks hum low beneath the stone
We came as two, we leave alone
Are you ready for the wind to blow?
Chorus
Ride the gold on the Sirocco Line
Leave the sorrow in the salt and pine
Every mile turning warm and free
Meet me where the desert meets the sea
On the Sirocco Line
Verse 2
White linen fluttering along the wire
Shimmer on the asphalt catching fire
You say my name like drinking down the rain
A quiet grace that washes out the pain
We take the turn and never miss a beat
Sunburnt horizon rising up to meet
Pre-Chorus
The tracks hum low beneath the stone
We came as two, we leave alone
Are you ready for the wind to blow?
Chorus
Ride the gold on the Sirocco Line
Leave the sorrow in the salt and pine
Every mile turning warm and free
Meet me where the desert meets the sea
On the Sirocco Line
Bridge
Nothing is broken that we cannot mend
Some roads only open at the end
We spill our shadows out into the blue
I know the dawn is carrying you
Chorus
Ride the gold on the Sirocco Line
Leave the sorrow in the salt and pine
Every mile turning warm and free
Meet me where the desert meets the sea
On the Sirocco Line
