Verse
Courtyard dust turning gold at the seams
Speaker cloth shaking loose at the beams
You lift your arms and the fabric lifts too
Hem catching light like it's dancing with you
I read the sway before I read your face
Cotton telling me how to keep pace
Pre-Chorus
Nobody's talking, the bassline speaks
Watch how the cloth finds the same slow peaks
Wind off the hillside, warm and wide
Nothing between us but what it can't hide
Chorus
Warm air moving against your dress
Tells me everything, more or less
Every fold is a word unsaid
Warm air moving against your dress instead
Warm air moving against your dress
Warm air moving against your dress
Verse
Evening settles low on the courtyard wall
Log drum steady, we answer the call
Fabric brushing my wrist as you turn
Cotton warm from the day we burned
You don't reach for me, you just let it sway
The dress does the asking, I just obey
Pre-Chorus
Nobody's talking, the bassline speaks
Watch how the cloth finds the same slow peaks
Wind off the hillside, warm and wide
Nothing between us but what it can't hide
Chorus
Warm air moving against your dress
Tells me everything, more or less
Every fold is a word unsaid
Warm air moving against your dress instead
Warm air moving against your dress
Warm air moving against your dress
Bridge
Maybe it's easier this way
Let the wind carry what we won't say
Skin remembers what the eye can't trace
Cloth is closer than an open face
I don't need your hand, I don't need your name
Just the fabric moving to the same slow flame
Chorus
Warm air moving against your dress
Tells me everything, more or less
Every fold is a word unsaid
Warm air moving against your dress instead
Warm air moving against your dress
Warm air moving against your dress
