Bodies keep time, we don't need the sight

Verse

Paraffin lamp swinging on a wire

Dust rising slow like a low grey fire

Your shoulder finds mine without a sound

Bare feet reading the cool tile ground

Kick drum settles in the back of your knee

No need for talking, just you and me

Pre-Chorus

Clock on the wall gave up hours ago

Hips understand what the words don't know

Hand on my waist, steady and slow

Nowhere to be, nowhere to go

Chorus

Follow the drum till the morning light

Bodies keep time, we don't need the sight

Follow the drum till the morning light

Skin knows the rhythm, holding on tight

Follow the drum till the morning light

Verse

Streetlamp flickers on the courtyard wall

Old speaker crackling but it says it all

Your breath falls into the hi-hat's beat

Gravel humming underneath our feet

Shirt sticks close where the night got warm

One shared pulse moving through the storm

Pre-Chorus

Clock on the wall gave up hours ago

Hips understand what the words don't know

Hand on my waist, steady and slow

Nowhere to be, nowhere to go

Chorus

Follow the drum till the morning light

Bodies keep time, we don't need the sight

Follow the drum till the morning light

Skin knows the rhythm, holding on tight

Follow the drum till the morning light

Bridge

No need to name it, no need to explain

The kick drum washing away the strain

Turn when I turn, lean when I lean

Nothing between us but the in-between

Sky going grey where the roofline ends

Still moving slow like the night won't end

Chorus

Follow the drum till the morning light

Bodies keep time, we don't need the sight

Follow the drum till the morning light

Skin knows the rhythm, holding on tight

Follow the drum till the morning light
