Lanterna swinging low (Version 2)

Verse 1

Wire in the rafter and the glass is warm

Red dust settles on your two bare feet

Yellow wick swaying to the shaker roll

Chest to chest where the pulses meet

Pre-Chorus

Feel it in the dirt, feel it in the skin

Where the floor ends, where we begin

Step by step

Slow and deep

Chorus

Lanterna swinging low

Lanterna, let it glow

Two steps on the quiet ground

Hear the log drum rolling round

Lanterna swinging low

Lanterna, let it glow

Verse 2

Sweat on your collar like a trace of rain

Bassline heavy through the courtyard stone

Shadow on the plaster moving when you move

No one in the garden walks alone

Pre-Chorus

Feel it in the dirt, feel it in the skin

Where the floor ends, where we begin

Step by step

Slow and deep

Chorus

Lanterna swinging low

Lanterna, let it glow

Two steps on the quiet ground

Hear the log drum rolling round

Lanterna swinging low

Lanterna, let it glow

Bridge

Four in the morning and the street goes quiet

Only this wire and the flame remain

We found the rhythm in a crowded yard

Now it moves easy like a summer rain

Chorus

Lanterna swinging low

Lanterna, let it glow

Two steps on the quiet ground

Hear the log drum rolling round

Lanterna swinging low

Lanterna, let it glow
