Follow the drum till the morning light

Verse 1

Red coals breathing by the corner wall

Log drum drops and we answer the call

You tap your heel on the packed red dirt

Bassline moving through a linen shirt

No spoken word in this crowded room

Just two shoulders cutting through the gloom

Pre-Chorus

Watch the grey rise slow

Where the rhythm wants to go

Drop low, don't speak

Heavy heat on cheek to cheek

Chorus

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Follow the drum till the morning light

Your hand moves slow, your step stays right

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Verse 2

Red ember drifting in a quiet arc

Your shadow bending right into the dark

Bare arms cool against the midnight air

Sweet cedar drifting through your braided hair

A single nod and the distance breaks

We know the language that the shaker makes

Pre-Chorus

Watch the grey rise slow

Where the rhythm wants to go

Drop low, don't speak

Heavy heat on cheek to cheek

Chorus

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Follow the drum till the morning light

Your hand moves slow, your step stays right

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Bridge

The bass don't ask for a name

The wood turns down into flame

Just skin, just dust, just the ground

Lost in the circle of sound

Chorus

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Follow the drum till the morning light

Your hand moves slow, your step stays right

Smoke signals in the low warm night
