Sky Turns Amber 2 (Version 2)

Verse

Cigarette smoke curls from the alley wall

Fading orange in the empty street

Your jacket's gone but I still hear your call

Echo off a water tower so neat

I keep my eyes up on the amber sky

Watching stars appear one by one like friends

The city's slowing down, I think you'd fly

And leave me here to count these stars that bend

Pre-Chorus

So let it go, like water down the drain

Let your shadow join the ones already in

Chorus

Sky turns amber, we're running free

Every sunset's where our hearts agree

Sky turns amber, gold on every face

I'll be chasing you through this fading space

Verse

Furniture store window shows a thousand shades of yellow

Your smile kept burning even after the dark had come for it

We walked these streets but you never said to stay

Only the sky remembered us like that

Pre-Chorus

So let it go, like water down the drain

Let your shadow join the ones already in

Chorus

Sky turns amber, we're running free

Every sunset's where our hearts agree

Sky turns amber, gold on every face

I'll be chasing you through this fading space

Bridge

Maybe I was never holding onto the sky at all

Just trying to catch your shadow where it danced in the fall

Chorus

Sky turns amber, we're running free

Every sunset's where our hearts agree

Sky turns amber, gold on every face

I'll be chasing you through this fading space
