Smoke signals rising in the dark (version 6)

Verse 1

Red coal glowing on the low brick wall

Bass drum leaning through the kitchen hall

You step closer with your eyes half shut

Bare feet moving in the red clay cut

No words spoken in the heavy space

Just warm sweat drying on a steady face

Pre-Chorus

Chest to chest, slow and deep

What the tongue won't say, the shoulders keep

Lift your chin, let it climb

Catch the rumble on the double time

Chorus

Smoke signals rising in the dark

Every little movement leaves a mark

Smoke signals rising off the floor

We don't need the talking anymore

Verse 2

Four a.m. tapping on the iron roof

Heels in the dust give the only proof

Your fingers brush the wool along my sleeve

Neither one ready for the yard to leave

Warm mist drifting where the sub-bass blows

Every heavy breath is how the answer goes

Pre-Chorus

Chest to chest, slow and deep

What the tongue won't say, the shoulders keep

Lift your chin, let it climb

Catch the rumble on the double time

Chorus

Smoke signals rising in the dark

Every little movement leaves a mark

Smoke signals rising off the floor

We don't need the talking anymore

Bridge

Ash in the corner, iron in the blood

Bassline rolling like a river flood

Stay right here till the black turns blue

I watch the signal and it pulls me to you

Chorus

Smoke signals rising in the dark

Every little movement leaves a mark

Smoke signals rising off the floor

We don't need the talking anymore
