Cherry Golden Hour

[Intro]
[Verse]
Golden light hits the wood
Salt air feels so good
The tide is coming in
Where do I begin?
I walk the painted line
Tracing back the time
When the world was new
Just me and you
[Pre-Chorus]
I see the carousel
A story left to tell
Your eyes were summer blue
I think I always knew
[Chorus]
Cherry red on your lips
Sticky cup at our fingertips
The ice melts in the sun
We had only just begun
Sweet sugar on the breeze
Bringing me to my knees
[Post-Chorus]
Dappled light
Hold me tight
Summer night
In my sight
[Verse]
Music from the pier
Whispers in my ear
Paper edges turning pink
Faster than a blink
You laughed at my messy face
In this quiet, holy place
Shadows start to grow
Where did the summer go?
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the distant bell
Underneath the magic spell
Your smile was warm and wide
With nowhere left to hide
[Chorus]
Cherry red on your lips
Sticky cup at our fingertips
The ice melts in the sun
We had only just begun
Sweet sugar on the breeze
Bringing me to my knees
[Hook]
Sweet cherry ice
Feels so nice
Think about it twice
Pay the summer price
[Bridge]
Maybe you are walking here
Maybe you are very near
The glockenspiel rings out
Without a single doubt
I’m waiting for the spark
Before it gets too dark
I see a silhouette
A ghost I haven't met
[Verse]
The boardwalk stretches long
Like a half-remembered song
I find the vendor stand
With a coin inside my hand
One cone instead of two
Still thinking about you
The syrup starts to bleed
You're all I really need
[Chorus]
Cherry red on your lips
Sticky cup at our fingertips
The ice melts in the sun
We had only just begun
Sweet sugar on the breeze
Bringing me to my knees
[Post-Chorus]
Dappled light
Hold me tight
Summer night
In my sight
[Outro]
