Follow where the heavy shadows go

Verse 1

Tin roof creaking in the late afternoon

Red dirt settling, welcoming the moon

One wire hanging from an amber bough

Nothing to settle, nothing to say now

Your shoulder brushes where the wood turns dry

We let the evening roll across the sky

Pre-Chorus

Heels on the clay

Wind turns around

Give it away

Down to the ground

Chorus

Lanterna swinging slow

Follow where the heavy shadows go

Lanterna swinging slow

Warm on your skin, low in the bone

Verse 2

Kerosene burning with an orange ring

Nobody speaking, let the log drum sing

Your two feet planted in the cooling sand

Weight of the rhythm falling where we stand

Sweat on the collar, quiet in the chest

The day is sinking down into the west

Pre-Chorus

Heels on the clay

Wind turns around

Give it away

Down to the ground

Chorus

Lanterna swinging slow

Follow where the heavy shadows go

Lanterna swinging slow

Warm on your skin, low in the bone

Bridge

Copper wire hums in time

Your step leaning into mine

No clock running out the light

Just the brass holding the night

Chorus

Lanterna swinging slow

Follow where the heavy shadows go

Lanterna swinging slow

Warm on your skin, low in the bone
