Smoke Signals Rising (versie 4)

Verse 1

Red sun dipping past the corrugated tin

Log drum rolling where the twilight begins

You turn your shoulder where the ember catches low

Nothing needs a whisper that the body doesn't know

Bare heels shifting on the cooling paving stone

Two shadows leaning till they settle into one

Pre-Chorus

Log drum heavy in the chest

Sun going down in the west

Watch it lift, watch it slow

Nowhere else we need to go

Chorus

Smoke signals rising in the amber light

We don't need a word to get the rhythm right

Smoke signals rising, let the bassline speak

Holding on to sunset till the night gets deep

Verse 2

Ash floating easy through the sweet dry air

One bead of sweat running slow past your hair

Fingers touch my wrist just to set the cadence down

Whole yard breathing with the rumble in the ground

Sky turns violet where the chimney starts to blow

Every single step is a language that we know

Pre-Chorus

Log drum heavy in the chest

Sun going down in the west

Watch it lift, watch it slow

Nowhere else we need to go

Chorus

Smoke signals rising in the amber light

We don't need a word to get the rhythm right

Smoke signals rising, let the bassline speak

Holding on to sunset till the night gets deep

Bridge

No talking, just the drum

Watch the grey curl up to the sun

Warm skin, open space

Hold my hand and keep the pace

Chorus

Smoke signals rising in the amber light

We don't need a word to get the rhythm right

Smoke signals rising, let the bassline speak

Holding on to sunset till the night gets deep
