Smoke signals rising in the dark (versie 4)

Verse 1

Red dirt turning into wet sand

Sun going copper on your right hand

Bassline humming from the truck bed back

Footsteps fading in the tidal track

You don't say a word, you just take the lead

Shallow ripple breaking at the knee

Pre-Chorus

Feel the log drum roll underneath

Pulling the breath right through your teeth

Tide coming in, warm and wide

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

Chorus

Step with me into the water

Leave the dust on the shore

Deep where the rolling gets softer

We don't speak anymore

Into the water

Into the water

Verse 2

Salt on the collar of your open shirt

Cool wave washing off the midday work

Sky gone violet, the surface like glass

Every heavy thing sinking in the past

Hip to hip as the slow swell leans

Nothing in the middle, nothing in between

Pre-Chorus

Feel the log drum roll underneath

Pulling the breath right through your teeth

Tide coming in, warm and wide

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

Chorus

Step with me into the water

Leave the dust on the shore

Deep where the rolling gets softer

We don't speak anymore

Into the water

Into the water

Bridge

Waist high now in the amber glow

Letting every memory of the gravel go

No weight on the heels, no weight in the chest

Let the deep current handle the rest

Chorus

Step with me into the water

Leave the dust on the shore

Deep where the rolling gets softer

We don't speak anymore

Into the water

Into the water
