Smoke Signals in the Night

Verse 1

Red coal glowing on the broken brick

Log drum shaking in the air so thick

You turn your shoulder to the heavy bass

Shadows drawing circles on your face

Bare feet shifting on the dusty tile

No words spoken for a steady mile

Pre-Chorus

Can you read the quiet calling

Can you catch it before falling

Breath by breath, the floor is leaning in

Right where the drift begins

Chorus

Smoke signals in the night

Two shadows finding the light

Let the bassline pull us in

Skin to skin, skin to skin

Smoke signals in the night

Verse 2

Cinder drifting past the iron gate

No one asking for the hour or date

Sweat along your collar in the cooling draft

Swaying on the corner where the elders laughed

You raise two fingers just to trace the sound

Drop another heel upon the ground

Pre-Chorus

Can you read the quiet calling

Can you catch it before falling

Breath by breath, the floor is leaning in

Right where the drift begins

Chorus

Smoke signals in the night

Two shadows finding the light

Let the bassline pull us in

Skin to skin, skin to skin

Smoke signals in the night

Bridge

No talk, just the warmth we make

No promise that we have to break

The drum is speaking what the throat cannot say

Drifting till the grey

Chorus

Smoke signals in the night

Two shadows finding the light

Let the bassline pull us in

Skin to skin, skin to skin

Smoke signals in the night
