Lanterna swinging slow

Verse 1

Sun slips behind the zinc roof line

Red clay cools down just in time

Your hand reaches through the smoke

Before a single word is spoke

Heels tapping on the hardened ground

Nothing moving but the sound

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the copper air?

Can you feel the pulse right there?

Lean against the braided wire

Watch the dusk climb higher

Chorus

Lanterna swinging slow

Show where your footsteps go

Warm amber on your skin

This is where we begin

Lanterna swinging slow

Let the deep rhythm know

Verse 2

Paraffin and lemon rind

Leave the daytime far behind

Shoulder brushes shoulder blade

In the yellow circle made

Two shadows folding into one

Doing what the drums begun

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the copper air?

Can you feel the pulse right there?

Lean against the braided wire

Watch the dusk climb higher

Chorus

Lanterna swinging slow

Show where your footsteps go

Warm amber on your skin

This is where we begin

Lanterna swinging slow

Let the deep rhythm know

Bridge

Sky is indigo now

We don't need to ask how

Just the wick and the glass

Watching the heavy hours pass

Hold the ground, breathe it in

Chorus

Lanterna swinging slow

Show where your footsteps go

Warm amber on your skin

This is where we begin

Lanterna swinging slow

Let the deep rhythm know
