Swing low, lanterna (versie 2) (4:03)

Verse 1

Tin roof cooling when the orange goes down

Bare feet settling on the reddish ground

You don't say a word, just adjust your stance

Weight on the left hip, leaning in the trance

Log drum shaking through the wooden bench

Sweat on your collar where the shadows stretch

Pre-Chorus

Watch the wick catch

Watch the wick catch

Glass getting warm where your fingers match

Hold that line, let the tempo drop

Chorus

Swing low, lanterna

Glow on your shoulder, glow on your skin

Swing low, lanterna

Show us where the drum begins

Swing low, lanterna

Nobody talking, everybody in

Verse 2

Moth at the wire where the yellow hangs

Bassline tapping on the water tanks

Your palm finds my wrist, just to guide the sway

Dust in the air taking breath away

Sun gone purple past the garden wall

Two steps sideways, we don't speak at all

Pre-Chorus

Watch the wick catch

Watch the wick catch

Glass getting warm where your fingers match

Hold that line, let the tempo drop

Chorus

Swing low, lanterna

Glow on your shoulder, glow on your skin

Swing low, lanterna

Show us where the drum begins

Swing low, lanterna

Nobody talking, everybody in

Bridge

Kerosene burning sweet and slow

Nowhere else that the body must go

Ground stays warm while the deep tones roll

One flame answering the whole yard's soul

Chorus

Swing low, lanterna

Glow on your shoulder, glow on your skin

Swing low, lanterna

Show us where the drum begins

Swing low, lanterna

Nobody talking, everybody in
