Amber Skies

Verse 1) The creek behind the old school gate Whispers secrets we create We traced our names on dusty glass Hoping all the joy would last The sun was warm upon our skin A simple world we're living in (Pre-Chorus) And the light is changing, soft and low A feeling that we have to go But we hold it tight, we won't let slip A silent prayer on every lip (Chorus) Under these amber skies We are fire in our eyes Whispering a last goodbye To the ghosts we leave behind Oh, the time, it never waits Just a glimpse through golden gates Under amber, amber skies (Verse 2) The porch light flickers, pale and weak The future's now a mountain peak We packed our bags with dreams and fears And wiped away each other's tears The map is drawn with shaky hands Of far-off and uncharted lands (Pre-Chorus) And the light is changing, soft and low That same old feeling, we have to go But we hold it tight, we won't let slip A silent prayer on every lip (Chorus) Under these amber skies We are fire in our eyes Whispering a last goodbye To the ghosts we leave behind Oh, the time, it never waits Just a glimpse through golden gates Under amber, amber skies (Bridge) Maybe home is not a place But the memory of a face In the golden, fading light That we carry through the night And though the road is long and unknown In my heart, I'm not alone (Final Chorus) Under these amber skies! We are fire in our eyes! Whispering our last goodbye To the ghosts we leave behind! Oh, the time, it never waits Just a glimpse through golden gates Under amber... amber skies...
