Your shoulder leaning in the amber light (versie 2)

Verse 1

Red coil burning by the garden wall

Log drum humming through the timber floor

Your bare feet rooted in the packed-down clay

Shifting your weight as the chords decay

Ash falls silent on the patio stone

Two warm shadows making space alone

Pre-Chorus

Breathe in slow

Let the shaker go

Breathe in slow

Let the body know

Chorus

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Your shoulder leaning in the amber light

No words needed when the drum hits right

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Verse 2

Match head striking in the heavy air

Sweet cedar drifting in your braided hair

Pulse in your wrist against my open palm

Four in the morning and the street stays calm

Dust on our shins from the gravel drive

Bass keeps the corner of the yard alive

Pre-Chorus

Breathe in slow

Let the shaker go

Breathe in slow

Let the body know

Chorus

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Your shoulder leaning in the amber light

No words needed when the drum hits right

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Bridge

We don't speak, we let the rhythm lean

Nothing said across the space between

Just the glowing coal, just the rising grey

Holding the dark until it turns to day

Chorus

Smoke signals in the low warm night

Your shoulder leaning in the amber light

No words needed when the drum hits right

Smoke signals in the low warm night
