(Verse 1) There's a light that the evening still keeps Somewhere gold where the colour goes pink And I'm back on the steps of that June With your laughter still filling the room We were careless and slow as the air Petals caught in your strawberry hair (Chorus) Oh, it comes like it always came — The pink hour, the light like a flame That still finds me wherever I go Burning soft in the afterglow And I reach for the edge of the sky Where the rose-coloured evening says goodbye In that pink hour — still yours, still mine Still tangled up in rose and wine (Verse 2) Now the city moves under the dusk And the corners still carry your musk There's a café on Ridley Street where The light through the glass turns to prayer And I sit with my hands around tea Watching pink how it used to watch me (Chorus) Oh, it comes like it always came — The pink hour, the light like a flame That still finds me wherever I go Burning soft in the afterglow And I reach for the edge of the sky Where the rose-coloured evening says goodbye In that pink hour — still yours, still mine Still tangled up in rose and wine (Bridge) Maybe pink is just physics — The sun at the angle of letting go Maybe grief is just light That has nowhere left to go But it falls on my face And it falls like it knows And it falls— (Final Chorus (with key change — up a semitone to D major)) Oh, it comes like it always came — The pink hour, the light like a flame That still finds me wherever I go Burning soft in the afterglow And I reach for the edge of the sky Where the rose-coloured evening says goodbye In that pink hour — still yours, still mine Still tangled up in rose and wine (Outro) Pink hour… (still tangled up in rose) Pink hour… (still yours, still mine) Pink hour… (fade)
