**Snowfall over Edinburgh** [Intro] [Muted piano, distant city ambience, clean electric guitar] [Verse 1] Midnight finds the Royal Mile, blue breath hangs in the air. Taxi lights on shining stone, and music everywhere. A doorway opens, rhythm runs like fire through the cold. You look at me, I miss a step, the whole night starts to glow. [Pre-Chorus] The first snow touches your shoulder, you laugh and pull me near. The city changes all at once, the rooftops disappear. [Chorus] Let it fall over Edinburgh, turn every rooftop white. We travelled different roads and met beneath one light. Let the castle keep its secrets, let the north wind call our names. Snowfall over Edinburgh, we’ll never be the same. [Verse 2] We cross beneath the old stone walls, the wind comes from the Forth. A hundred voices from the bars rise laughing through the dark. We have no map, no place to be, no train we have to make. You take my hand as if the night has planned each turn we take. [Pre-Chorus] The snow comes down like silver, the traffic fades below. For once the world stands still enough to show us where to go. [Chorus] Let it fall over Edinburgh, turn every rooftop white. We travelled different roads and met beneath one light. Let the castle keep its secrets, let the north wind call our names. Snowfall over Edinburgh, we’ll never be the same. [Instrumental Build] [Driving drums, rising strings, chiming guitars and wordless harmonies] [Bridge – Drums and Crowd] Raise your voice, wake the stone, no one walks this night alone. Hold this hour, hold it tight, we are here, we are alive. [Short Break] [One heartbeat drum, then the full band returns] [Final Chorus] Let it fall over Edinburgh, set every window bright. We arrived here as strangers, now the whole street sings tonight. Let the castle keep its secrets, let the north wind call our names. Snowfall over Edinburgh, we’ll never be the same. [Final Lift] From the Royal Mile to morning, every window holds a flame. Snowfall over Edinburgh, we’ll never be the same. [Outro] [Band falls away to piano, voice and distant city ambience] Stay until the morning comes.
