Gold on the Water (Version 2)

Verse 1 – male vocal

Dusk comes quiet on the lake's dark shore

Your feet find mine where the path disappears before

We keep talking like we got nowhere to go

Water lapping soft at our ankles slow

Pre-Chorus – female vocal

So what keeps you here?

Something in your eyes

Chorus – both vocals

Gold on the water, dancing there tonight

Hands up open under starlight

Let it fall like fireflies in flight

Never let it fade to grey and white

Gold on the water, spinning slow

We catch it where the shadows go

Verse 2 – female vocal

Bike chain hanging from your handlebar still

You tell a story 'bout when you first moved up this hill

The way the sound of your laughter carries on the air

I want to save it in a jar and keep it there

Pre-Chorus – male vocal

So what keeps me here?

Maybe I'm hoping that

Chorus – both vocals

Gold on the water, dancing there tonight

Hands up open under starlight

Let it fall like fireflies in flight

Never let it fade to grey and white

Gold on the water, spinning slow

We catch it where the shadows go

Bridge – acoustic guitar only, whispered, breathy harmony

Just two hearts beating with no schedule

Barefoot counting down the constellations

Hold my hand like you don't ever have to let me go

Say the stars are gold and I believe you so

Chorus – both vocals

Gold on the water, dancing there tonight

Hands up open under starlight

Let it fall like fireflies in flight

Never let it fade to grey and white

Gold on the water, spinning slow

We catch it where the shadows go
