[Verse 1] The sky is pouring gold Over the sleeping roofs Bare feet on the cool floor We open every room You hum the day awake I catch it on my tongue The kettle starts to grin Before the sun is up [Pre-Chorus] Slowly, slowly The dark lets go Softly, softly We start to glow [Chorus] First gold breath On your face First gold breath Wash the gray away First gold breath We rise, we rise First gold breath And we start to shine [Verse 2] The trees are learning green From the edge of the sky Dew on the windowpane Like stars left overnight Your shadow dances long Across the quiet tiles My voice stays next to yours And stays a while [Pre-Chorus] Slowly, slowly The dark lets go Softly, softly We start to glow [Chorus] First gold breath On your face First gold breath Wash the gray away First gold breath We rise, we rise First gold breath And we start to shine [Bridge] Hold the moment Don't move too fast Morning is a river We can let it pass Then you laugh And I laugh too The whole new day Fits inside of you [Chorus] First gold breath On your face First gold breath Wash the gray away First gold breath We rise, we rise First gold breath And we start to shine
