Lyrics
Parked above the harbor with the engine ticking slow City lights are melting in the rain, sweet and low You pull your sleeve across the glass to clear a little view The skyline blooms in gold and I'm looking at you No rush tonight Let the wipers set the time Skyline through the windshield wash Everything is blurry, but I'm sure of us Gold and blue and running down the glass Hold me while the moment's moving slow, don't let it pass Radio is humming something low and far away Coffee going lukewarm, and nobody's got a say Every light's a little story from a window up above And ours is the one that's quiet, wrapped in rain and love No rush tonight Let the wipers set the time Skyline through the windshield wash Everything is blurry, but I'm sure of us Gold and blue and running down the glass Hold me while the moment's moving slow, don't let it pass Wipe it clear, watch it fade Wipe it clear, watch it fade Either way the view is ours Either way I'm staying Skyline through the windshield wash Everything is blurry, but I'm sure of us Gold and blue and running down the glass Hold me while the moment's moving slow, don't let it pass Skyline, skyline, shining through Rain on the glass and me and you
