Lanterna, hold the golden ring (النسخة 4)

Verse 1

Paraffin wick in the amber glass

Sunset settling in the grass

Zinc roof clicking in the cool

Bare feet scuffing by the stool

You catch the pulse before it breaks

One breath is all the rhythm takes

Pre-Chorus

The wire swings

The red dust clears

No need to speak

When the drum is here

Chorus

Lanterna, hold the golden ring

Lanterna, let the bodies swing

Skin to skin against the stone

Nobody dancing here alone

Lanterna, hold the golden ring

Verse 2

Collarbone wet with the evening heat

Rolling drum beneath our feet

You lean your weight into my side

Nowhere for the dark to hide

Long shadows pulling on the floor

Nobody looking for the door

Pre-Chorus

The wire swings

The red dust clears

No need to speak

When the drum is here

Chorus

Lanterna, hold the golden ring

Lanterna, let the bodies swing

Skin to skin against the stone

Nobody dancing here alone

Lanterna, hold the golden ring

Bridge

Kerosene fading

Ash on the glass

Only the pulse

That we let pass

Stay in the circle

Till daylight wakes

Chorus

Lanterna, hold the golden ring

Lanterna, let the bodies swing

Skin to skin against the stone

Nobody dancing here alone

Lanterna, hold the golden ring
