The Salt Road

Verse 1

Linen shirt shaking in the breeze

Dry wind whistling through acacia trees

White crust snapping under bare brown feet

You spin around to the shaker's beat

Pre-Chorus

Hear the low drum wake in the stone

No one is carrying care alone

Are you ready to let it go?

Chorus

Kick up the dust in the lantern glow

Move every bone that you used to hold

Out where the earth runs white and wide

Nothing to lose and nothing to hide

Dancing tonight on the salt road

Verse 2

Copper rings clicking on your hand

Moonlight silver on the packed-down sand

Cedar smoke drifting in the air

River of sweat running through your hair

Pre-Chorus

Hear the low drum wake in the stone

No one is carrying care alone

Are you ready to let it go?

Chorus

Kick up the dust in the lantern glow

Move every bone that you used to hold

Out where the earth runs white and wide

Nothing to lose and nothing to hide

Dancing tonight on the salt road

Bridge

We spent months with our shoulders tight

Now we are breathing the open night

Look at the circle unbroken and bold

Look at the stories we never told

Chorus

Kick up the dust in the lantern glow

Move every bone that you used to hold

Out where the earth runs white and wide

Nothing to lose and nothing to hide

Dancing tonight on the salt road
