We Kept the Sun

We spent half our lives chasing the morning
Funny thing
The real gold was waiting in the afternoon

Mmm we kept the sun
We kept the sun

Green turns to amber, the heavy fields bow
I didn't know beauty till I'm looking at it now
Coffee's going cold out here, and I don't mind
We've got fireflies, honey, and time

Every storm we outlasted
Turned to light in the grain

We didn't just survive the fire
Darling, we kept the sun
We kept the sun
Look at the harvest, look at the glow
All those years we were growing gold
Hand in hand in the evening light
Darling, we kept the sun

We kept the sun (we kept the sun)
We kept the sun (we kept the sun)

There were summers full of leaving
There are names we'll always miss
But the peaches still taste like August
And your cheek still fits my kiss
We planted the laughter, we watered the tears
Now we're drinking the wine of the beautiful years

Every storm we outlasted
Turned to light in the grain

We didn't just survive the fire
Darling, we kept the sun
We kept the sun
Look at the harvest, look at the glow
All those years we were growing gold
Hand in hand in the evening light
Darling, we kept the sun

Shadows get longer
But so does the love
Look at us
We made it gentle

We didn't just survive the fire
Darling, we kept the sun
We kept the sun
Look at the harvest, look at the glow
All those years we were growing gold
Still warm, still here, still one
Darling, we kept the sun

We've got plenty of light left, sweetheart
Plenty
