Wet Tarmac
Style: Cinematic strings

[Verse 1]
Shops are shut, the street is ours
Sodium light on the wet ground
You are laughing at nothing
Best sound this town has found

[Pre-chorus]
I keep looking over at you
Half the streetlamps burnt out gold
Something is building quietly

[Chorus]
Dahlia, walk slower with me
No one else is out this late
Every dull road turns golden
Dahlia, when you're by my gate

[Verse 2]
Puddles hold the whole sky sideways
You step round them, holding my hand
This is not a big occasion
Just a Tuesday I understand

[Bridge]
No music, no plans, no reason
Just the hum of a light gone amber
I would take this over most things
I would take this over grander

[Chorus]
Dahlia, walk slower with me
No one else is out this late
Every dull road turns golden
Dahlia, when you're by my gate

[Outro]
Shops still shut, the street still ours
Gold still falling where you stand
