Bamboo in the Dark

Intro

Dust in the beam of the floor lamp

Your ankle brushes against mine

Verse 1

Bamboo stalks like a row of hands

Swaying slow in the dark room light

Your eyes find mine across the crowd

Nothing says 'go' tonight

Pre-Chorus

Take your time, don't lose it now

Let this riddim turn us round

Chorus

Bamboo in the dark

Dust and gold light on your neck

Bamboo sway back to the sound

Stay with me, keep it slow tonight

Verse 2

Your shoulder grazes the speaker wire

Heat rises off of your skin

Cassava scent and diesel smoke

This one move will last till dawn

Pre-Chorus

Take your time, don't lose it now

Let this riddim turn us round

Chorus

Bamboo in the dark

Dust and gold light on your neck

Bamboo sway back to the sound

Stay with me, keep it slow tonight

Bridge

No need for words, no need for speed

Just you moving close by my side

Gold in your hair when it catches

Sun don't rise till this whole room dies

Chorus

Bamboo in the dark

Dust and gold light on your neck

Bamboo sway back to the sound

Stay with me, keep it slow tonight
