Fusion #3. Two Trains, One Sunrise

[Intro — Synth brass and Latin percussion] Two trains, one sunrise, Different windows, same bright sky. [Verse 1] You ride the eastbound train before the city starts to shine, I take the western platform at a quarter after five. You photograph the sunrise through a scratched-up windowpane, I do the same from farther off beneath a different train. One morning at the station, both our lines were running late, And there you stood with coffee by the open iron gate. [Pre-Chorus — Melodic duet] I knew that sky from somewhere, I knew that shade of gold. You held up your little photograph, And suddenly I knew. [Chorus — Explosive crossover pop] Two trains, one sunrise, Different windows, same bright sky. All the roads we didn't know Can meet where morning starts to glow. Two trains, one sunrise, Something lovely in surprise. We were strangers in the crowd, Now we're laughing out loud. [Dance Break — 8 bars, synth brass and dembow] [Verse 2] We sat beside the café and compared our morning views, You liked the way the skyline turned from violet into blue. I liked the golden rooftops on the far side of the bridge, You showed me all the little streets I'd never known existed. We didn't call it destiny or make it something grand, Just two people with a sunrise and a coffee in their hands. [Bridge — Half-time electronic groove] One city, many stories, More than either one can see. When we share a little window, The whole world grows for me. [Final Chorus — Layered duet] Two trains, one sunrise, Different windows, same bright sky. All the roads we didn't know Can meet where morning starts to glow. Two trains, one sunrise, Something lovely in surprise. We were strangers in the crowd, Now we're laughing out loud. [Outro — Piano and train ambience] The trains arrived together, And we said we'd meet next week. The sunrise kept on rising Over every city street.
