music by Katie Dwyer of kdwyermusic / lyrics & vocal melody by Falconbridge
This track was revised on 01/12/2023, adjusted vocal levels, and added rough concept bass; original is at the bottom)
Sitting on the balcony
Thinking how we use to be
Listening to the sounds of the horn
Drifting down the alleyway
Where we used to play
In puddles / mirroring the summer morn
Beautiful day
Beautiful night
See the brightness of those city lights
Sound of lovers laughing
Flocks of pigeons passing by
Glittering sky
Glittering sight
Every day with you feels so right
Every moment that we meet
Makes my melody complete *
Your kiss tastes like
Old fashioneds and blues
A combination none that could refuse
You melt me like ice in a glass
Offer another and I won’t pass it by
You dance a smooth legato
My heart beats a quick staccato
And I sigh….
Beautiful day
Beautiful night
See the brightness of those city lights
Sound of lovers laughing
Flocks of pigeons passing by
Glittering sky
Glittering sight
Every day with you feels so right
Every moment that we meet
Makes my melody complete
Sitting on the balcony
Where else would I want to be?
Our laughter drowning out the traffic hum
Carefree summers left behind
But I for one don’t really mind
Content with the people we’ve become.
Beautiful day
Beautiful night
See the brightness of those city lights
Sound of lovers laughing
Flocks of pigeons passing by
Glittering sky
Glittering sight
Every day with you feels so right
Every moment that we meet
Makes my melody complete
Your kiss tastes like
Old fashioneds and blues
A combination none could refuse
You melt me like ice in a glass
Offer another and I won’t pass it by…
This piece is my first FAWM collab! I’m grateful to @musicbykatie for sharing her great chill track. As I read @Theodamus comment about chilling on their balcony watching the world go by, these words came tumbling out.
It took a couple days to get assembled, as I’ve been swamped with work, but I’m really happy to share it now! <3
