Your body moving by the charcoal light (Version 2)

Verse 1

Red ember glowing on the cinder block

Your shoulder leaning where the speakers knock

Dust on your ankle, slow tilt of your head

No words between us, just the groove instead

Pre-Chorus

Catch the breath, turn it slow

Where the rhythm wants to go

Watch the grey rise in the air

Leave the silence hanging there

Chorus

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Your body moving by the charcoal light

No need to speak, just step in time

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Verse 2

Heels on the pavers, pulse inside the stone

Nobody standing in this yard alone

Warm current drifting off the metal drum

We feel the heavy kick before it comes

Pre-Chorus

Catch the breath, turn it slow

Where the rhythm wants to go

Watch the grey rise in the air

Leave the silence hanging there

Chorus

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Your body moving by the charcoal light

No need to speak, just step in time

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Bridge

One step closer to the heat

Dry earth rolling under bare feet

Let the dark hold what we know

Soft wind blowing, let it go

Chorus

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Your body moving by the charcoal light

No need to speak, just step in time

Smoke signals in the low warm night
