Heartbeat rolling with the log drum sound (version 2)

Verse 1

Orange light fading on the garden tin

Evening cool settling into the skin

You leave your shoes by the wooden gate

Step into the circle where the shadows wait

No words moving in the quiet space

Just the low wood rolling in the chest and face

Pre-Chorus

Feel the cool earth, feel the slow pull

Sky turning purple, evening full

Catch the low note, let the breath fall

Nothing between us and the soil at all

Chorus

Bare feet steady on the open ground

Heartbeat rolling with the log drum sound

Cool earth breathing as the sun goes down

Bare feet steady on the open ground

Verse 2

Dust settles quiet on the curve of your heel

Sweat drying slow from the tempo we feel

Fingers brush my forearm, easy and light

Marking the measure for the coming night

Two shapes swaying as the shakers pass

Dry wind humming in the yellow grass

Pre-Chorus

Feel the cool earth, feel the slow pull

Sky turning purple, evening full

Catch the low note, let the breath fall

Nothing between us and the soil at all

Chorus

Bare feet steady on the open ground

Heartbeat rolling with the log drum sound

Cool earth breathing as the sun goes down

Bare feet steady on the open ground

Bridge

Stars wake up where the amber died

Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide

Rooted in the marrow, settled in the bone

We find our balance on the dusty stone

Chorus

Bare feet steady on the open ground

Heartbeat rolling with the log drum sound

Cool earth breathing as the sun goes down

Bare feet steady on the open ground
