Dusk on the Equator

Verse 1

Red dust settling on the wooden rail

Warm breeze catching in the linen sail

Sweet lime dripping from a broken rind

Left the clocks and tickets far behind

Sweat like amber on your collarbone

You and me without a border stone

Pre-Chorus

The low drums gather on the shore

Who was counting hours anymore?

Are you ready for the line to blur?

Chorus

Copper skies are breaking wide and low

Move with me and let the daylight go

Feel the balance hum beneath our feet

Dusk on the equator, wild and sweet

Nothing holds our shadows to the ground

We are dancing where the world turns round

Verse 2

Lanterns swinging from the bamboo beam

Throw our silhouettes into the stream

Step into the center of the ring

Hear the wooden marimbas start to sing

Silver bracelets ringing on your wrist

Not a single motion to resist

Pre-Chorus

The low drums gather on the shore

Who was counting hours anymore?

Are you ready for the line to blur?

Chorus

Copper skies are breaking wide and low

Move with me and let the daylight go

Feel the balance hum beneath our feet

Dusk on the equator, wild and sweet

Nothing holds our shadows to the ground

We are dancing where the world turns round

Bridge

No north, no south, no past to claim

The heat and darkness know our name

Stand at the center of the spinning sphere

There is only freedom standing here

Chorus

Copper skies are breaking wide and low

Move with me and let the daylight go

Feel the balance hum beneath our feet

Dusk on the equator, wild and sweet

Nothing holds our shadows to the ground

We are dancing where the world turns round
