Chest to chest in the amber light (version 2)

Verse 1

Cinders floating off the wire fence

Bass drum knocking where the stone begins

You don't say a word, you just tilt your head

Swaying where the shadow and the gravel blend

Two steps forward on the hard-packed clay

Let the heavy rhythm take the words away

Pre-Chorus

Watch the drift, watch it rise

Catch your breath, lock your eyes

Here it comes, rolling slow

Feel the heat, let it go

Chorus

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Chest to chest in the amber light

We don't speak, but we move just right

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Verse 2

Damp cotton sticking to your shoulder blade

Shaker running steady through the circle made

Palm on my wrist, cooling down the skin

Nobody asking where the groove begins

Dust kicked soft around our open toes

Every little corner of the yard we know

Pre-Chorus

Watch the drift, watch it rise

Catch your breath, lock your eyes

Here it comes, rolling slow

Feel the heat, let it go

Chorus

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Chest to chest in the amber light

We don't speak, but we move just right

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Bridge

No talk, just the low drum hum

Wait till the morning comes

No talk, just the ash and spark

Two silhouettes in the dark

Chorus

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Chest to chest in the amber light

We don't speak, but we move just right

Smoke signals in the low warm night
