We send smoke signals through the air (versione 2)

Verse 1

Red dust floating where the yard opens wide

Sun sinking heavy on the western side

You lean your back on the warm brick wall

Saying no words, let your shoulders fall

Sweet woodsmoke in the amber air

Bass hums low through the plastic chair

Pre-Chorus

Hands speaking quiet

Feet keeping time

No need to whisper

Your eyes on mine

Chorus

We send smoke signals through the air

Deep drum moving what we cannot say

Skin like copper in the sunset glow

We send smoke signals, moving slow

Verse 2

Coals turning silver in the iron drum

Feel that rumble in the chest bone come

You step to the left and I match your pace

Heat of the twilight across your face

Long shadows stretching on the patio floor

Nobody watching the open door

Pre-Chorus

Hands speaking quiet

Feet keeping time

No need to whisper

Your eyes on mine

Chorus

We send smoke signals through the air

Deep drum moving what we cannot say

Skin like copper in the sunset glow

We send smoke signals, moving slow

Bridge

No talk in the dark, just the step and the sway

The soil remembers the heat of the day

A nod of your chin and the distance breaks

We move in the circle the woodsmoke makes

Chorus

We send smoke signals through the air

Deep drum moving what we cannot say

Skin like copper in the sunset glow

We send smoke signals, moving slow
