We Kept the Sun

We spent half our lives chasing the morning.
Funny thing,
the real gold was waiting in the afternoon.
Mhm,
we kept the sun.
We kept the sun.

Green turns to amber.
The heavy fields bow.
I didn’t know beauty
till I’m looking at it now.

Coffee’s going cold out here,
and I don’t mind.
We’ve got fireflies, honey,
and time.

Every storm we outlasted
turned the light in the gray.
We didn’t just survive the fire.
Darling, we kept the sun.

We kept the sun.
Look at the harvest. Look at the glow.
All those years we were going gold
hand in hand in the evening light.

Darling, we kept the sun.
We kept the sun.

There were summers full of leaving.
There are names we’ll always miss.
But the peach still tastes like
August, and your cheek still fits my kiss.

We planted the laughter. We watered the tears.

Now we’re drinking the wine of the beautiful years.

Shadows get longer.
But so does the love.
Look at us.
We made it, gentle.

We didn’t just SURVIVE THE FIRE.
DARLING, We kept the sun.
Look at the harvest.
Look at the glow.
All those years we were growing old.
Still warm, still here, still warm.
Darling, we kept the sun.
We’ve got plenty of light left, sweetheart.
Plenty.
