Bare feet heavy on the cool red ground (version 2)

Verse 1

Red dust settling on your ankles now

Sun sinks slow behind the brick wall brow

Coals burn down to a steady gray

You turn your chin, look across the way

One breath out, watch the circle rise

Bassline trembling through the open skies

Pre-Chorus

Step closer to the low hum

Step closer till the pulse comes

Nothing we have to say

Let the dark have its way

Chorus

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Bare feet heavy on the cool red ground

Your shadow bending into mine

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Verse 2

Sweat cools down on your collarbone

We let the rhythm take the yard alone

Zinc roof clicking in the evening heat

Two slow bodies keeping simple beat

You tap my wrist, leave your fingers there

Thin blue drift through the resting air

Pre-Chorus

Step closer to the low hum

Step closer till the pulse comes

Nothing we have to say

Let the dark have its way

Chorus

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Bare feet heavy on the cool red ground

Your shadow bending into mine

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Bridge

No names needed in the dust and hum

Only the work that the beat has done

Hold that breath till the air turns blue

It moves through me, it moves through you

Chorus

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Bare feet heavy on the cool red ground

Your shadow bending into mine

Smoke signals in the low warm night
