Bare feet steady on the open ground (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse 1

Red earth soft on your open feet

Slow wind cutting across the street

You lean your weight to the outer side

I take the step that you leave behind

Sweat on the collar, salt on the skin

Nobody speaks where the drums begin

Pre-Chorus

Drop your heels, let it take the floor

We don't need a word no more

Feel the kick when the timber bends

This is where the talking ends

Chorus

Log drum rolls and the dust is rising

Bare feet steady on the open ground

Log drum rolls and the dust is rising

Heavy in the chest where the peace is found

Verse 2

Yellow bulb hanging from a wire above

No rush, no push, no pull or shove

Your right foot drags in a circle slow

My shadow turns where your shoulders go

Ribs hold the rumble, low and deep

This is the rhythm the night will keep

Pre-Chorus

Drop your heels, let it take the floor

We don't need a word no more

Feel the kick when the timber bends

This is where the talking ends

Chorus

Log drum rolls and the dust is rising

Bare feet steady on the open ground

Log drum rolls and the dust is rising

Heavy in the chest where the peace is found

Bridge

Knee to knee in the cooling sand

No spoken sign, no reaching hand

The wood strikes low, the gravel shifts

Ankle-deep while the vapor lifts

Chorus

Log drum rolls and the dust is rising

Bare feet steady on the open ground

Log drum rolls and the dust is rising

Heavy in the chest where the peace is found
