Smoke signals drifting in the gold (version 2)

Verse 1

Red dust floating in the orange light

Two steps sideways and you catch my eye

Bass drum knocking in the hollow brick

Dry grass bending where your heel just hit

Pre-Chorus

You breathe it out slow

You let the shoulders go

Is that an answer now

To what the speakers know?

Chorus

Smoke signals drifting in the gold

Saying the things that are never told

Move with the drum, let the spirit clear

Smoke signals, I can see you here

Smoke signals drifting in the gold

Verse 2

Charcoal grey in the corner drum

Linen sleeve brushing on my thumb

Circle gets tighter as the sun drops down

Bare feet rooted in the cooling ground

Pre-Chorus

You breathe it out slow

You let the shoulders go

Is that an answer now

To what the speakers know?

Chorus

Smoke signals drifting in the gold

Saying the things that are never told

Move with the drum, let the spirit clear

Smoke signals, I can see you here

Smoke signals drifting in the gold

Bridge

No shout, no whistle, no name to call

Just two shadows leaning on the wall

The fire burns down and the wood turns grey

We don't need tomorrow when we move this way

Chorus

Smoke signals drifting in the gold

Saying the things that are never told

Move with the drum, let the spirit clear

Smoke signals, I can see you here

Smoke signals drifting in the gold
