Verse 1
Red clay cooling underneath bare feet
Iron drum burning at the edge of the street
Woodsmoke curls where your shoulder leans
Nothing to say, you know what it means
Two long shadows stretching on the stone
Heavy bass vibrating in the bone
Pre-Chorus
Do you feel the low drum drop
When the evening starts to stop
Pulling closer to the sound
Sinking deeper in the ground
Chorus
We sway slow in the firelit horizon
Log drum rolls, and the dust is rising
Your palm on my chest, nobody talking
We sway slow in the firelit horizon
Verse 2
Sweat dries cool in the orange air
Copper sparks catching in your braided hair
One step back and your heel finds mine
Moving together on the quarter line
Cinder glow resting on your dark wrist bone
Never had to speak to make it known
Pre-Chorus
Do you feel the low drum drop
When the evening starts to stop
Pulling closer to the sound
Sinking deeper in the ground
Chorus
We sway slow in the firelit horizon
Log drum rolls, and the dust is rising
Your palm on my chest, nobody talking
We sway slow in the firelit horizon
Bridge
Sky turns purple on the zinc roof seam
Shaking off the daylight like an old, dry dream
Just the embers breathing on your skin
Where the rhythm ends, we begin
Chorus
We sway slow in the firelit horizon
Log drum rolls, and the dust is rising
Your palm on my chest, nobody talking
We sway slow in the firelit horizon
