Standard Sky (v2)

[Verse 1]

Midnight shadows on the hardwood floor

Footsteps fading past the heavy door

Turn the collar up against the chill

City sleeping on a hollow hill

[Pre-Chorus]

A quiet echo in the empty hall

Waiting for the quiet rain to fall

[Chorus]

Oh, standard sky and silver light

Holding on through the middle of the night

No sudden thunder, no burning flame

Just a gentle whisper of a forgotten name

[Verse 2]

Dusty pages on a window sill

Coffee cooling while the world stands still

Simple rhythm of a steady clock

Count the seconds as the door unlocks

[Chorus]

Oh, standard sky and silver light

Holding on through the middle of the night

No sudden thunder, no burning flame

Just a gentle whisper of a forgotten name

[Outro]

Fading down, fading out

Nothing left to dream about

Soft and still, clear and plain

In the quiet rain
