Verse 1
Dirt path narrow past the old fence line
Lantern swinging on a piece of twine
Orange glow across your bare feet
Every step lands where the log drums beat
You don't ask me, you just read the sway
Shoulders learning what the light won't say
Pre-Chorus
Watch it swing before you move
Body finds its own true groove
Dark ahead but we don't fear
Follow close and stay right here
Chorus
Follow the lanterna swing slowly
Feet in the dust, holding
Follow the lanterna swing slowly
Nothing said, just moving
Follow the lanterna swing slowly
Follow the lanterna swing slowly
Verse 2
Smoke curls thin around the hanging flame
Your hand brushes mine, we don't need a name
Gravel shifting soft beneath our weight
Rhythm pulling slower than the gate
Hips remember what the feet forgot
Light on your collar, warm and caught
Pre-Chorus
Watch it swing before you move
Body finds its own true groove
Dark ahead but we don't fear
Follow close and stay right here
Chorus
Follow the lanterna swing slowly
Feet in the dust, holding
Follow the lanterna swing slowly
Nothing said, just moving
Follow the lanterna swing slowly
Follow the lanterna swing slowly
Bridge
Wick is burning low and small
Still we don't stop, still we don't fall
Trust the swing, trust the sound
Trust the ground beneath us now
Every shadow knows our name
Even after this dies to flame
Chorus
Follow the lanterna swing slowly
Feet in the dust, holding
Follow the lanterna swing slowly
Nothing said, just moving
Follow the lanterna swing slowly
Follow the lanterna swing slowly
