Under the lanterna, moving slow (Version 2)

Verse 1

Zinc on the roof letting go of the sun

Two cold glasses where the water drops run

Bare feet shifting on the cool red clay

You nod once and you show the way

Bass drum knocking on the garden gate

Nobody talking, no need to wait

Pre-Chorus

Is it the wind or is it the sound?

Tipping your weight till it finds the ground

Lean to the left, stay in the groove

Watch how the yellow flame starts to move

Chorus

Under the lanterna, moving slow

Foot on the gravel, let the drum take hold

Under the lanterna, moving slow

Shadow on shadow where the amber glows

Verse 2

Paraffin burning with a sweet thin smell

How the hour turns only bodies can tell

Dusk on your collar where the heat stays deep

Log drum rolling while the yard falls asleep

Shoulder to shoulder, neither pulling away

Giving back the hours that we lost in the day

Pre-Chorus

Is it the wind or is it the sound?

Tipping your weight till it finds the ground

Lean to the left, stay in the groove

Watch how the yellow flame starts to move

Chorus

Under the lanterna, moving slow

Foot on the gravel, let the drum take hold

Under the lanterna, moving slow

Shadow on shadow where the amber glows

Bridge

No walls here, just the open yard

Breathing easy while the drums hit hard

The wire gives a creak in the evening air

Two bodies sway and the light stays there

Chorus

Under the lanterna, moving slow

Foot on the gravel, let the drum take hold

Under the lanterna, moving slow

Shadow on shadow where the amber glows
