Sunset Soliloquy

[Intro] (Tremolo-filtered Rhodes piano, 4-bar signature hook) [Verse 1] Silver scales are stitching up the ocean White windmills spinning slow in slow motion Champagne sky is pouring through my window Static in my earphones humming soft and low I see the shape of wind Curling through the strands of my hair I hear the stars fall in Tinkling on the tide everywhere [Pre-Chorus] City's fading out behind my shoulder Heartbeat and the wind are finally in order Foot down on the gas toward freedom's border No more waiting for somebody's order [Chorus] Wu~ oh~ Na-na-na~ Sunset is a tender fire on the horizon Chasing all the light across the summer The world is loud and crowded — but the romance is mine only Wind and I don't say we're lonely Chasing sunset down to where the coastline ends Dusk is dripping over my two open hands The world is full of noise but the shoreline is so gentle I make my peace with every wind that blows [Reverse Cymbal Transition] [Verse 2] Wind has braided tangles in my tresses Rearview shrinks the skyline into distances Champagne light is sinking into the sea now Static turned into the rhythm of my heartbeat now No looking back, no destination Just keep driving forward — it's the best sensation [Pre-Chorus] City's fading out behind my shoulder Heartbeat and the wind are finally in order Foot down on the gas toward freedom's border No more waiting for somebody's order [Chorus] Wu~ oh~ Na-na-na~ Sunset is a tender fire on the horizon Chasing all the light across the summer The world is loud and crowded — but the romance is mine only Wind and I don't say we're lonely Chasing sunset down to where the coastline ends Dusk is dripping over my two open hands The world is full of noise but the shoreline is so gentle I make my peace with every wind that blows [Breakdown] (Minimal breathing section: kick drum and breathy whisper only) [Bridge] Sea wind's salty, stinging in my eyes now Turns out freedom has a hint of sour somehow Turns out walking solo can be whole and full somehow Wind has scattered all my hair into a poem now All the words unspoken — leave them on the coastline now [Final Chorus] Sunset is a tender fire on the horizon! Chasing all the light across the summer! The world is loud and crowded — but the romance is mine only Wind and I don't say we're lonely! Chasing sunset down to where the coastline ends Dusk is dripping over my two open hands The world is full of noise but the shoreline is so gentle I make my peace with every wind that blows Free——dom—— (Crescendo, then sudden Staccato Cut) [Outro] Wu~ oh~ (Rhodes motif returns, fading into coastal wind)
