Verse 1
Red dust settling soft on the stone
Bassline shaking every timber and bone
You tilt your head to the open yard
Moving real easy where the clay is hard
Dry wood burning on an iron drum
Speaking in a rhythm with no tongue
Pre-Chorus
Watch the sky turn red
Catch what wasn't said
Let the shaker lead
Everything we need
Chorus
Smoke signals rising slowly
Warm dust underneath our feet
Smoke signals rising slowly
No words when the two bodies meet
Verse 2
Cool air sliding down the back of your shirt
Bare soles tracing every line in the dirt
Orange light fading off the yellow brick wall
One small nod and you answer the call
We don't need a room, we don't need a light
Log drum talking to the start of the night
Pre-Chorus
Watch the sky turn red
Catch what wasn't said
Let the shaker lead
Everything we need
Chorus
Smoke signals rising slowly
Warm dust underneath our feet
Smoke signals rising slowly
No words when the two bodies meet
Bridge
Coals turn white in the pan
Hand finds the palm of a hand
Hold that tempo down
Rooted to the ground
Chorus
Smoke signals rising slowly
Warm dust underneath our feet
Smoke signals rising slowly
No words when the two bodies meet
