Verse 1
Sun sinking down past the corrugated tin
Cool breeze pushing where the day has been
Red dust settling soft on your toes
Your shoulder moves the way the shaker goes
No need to talk when the courtyard hums
Two shadows waiting on the wooden drums
Pre-Chorus
Feel the ground lean in
Feel the warmth give way
One breath on your neck
Nothing left to say
Chorus
Lanterna swinging low
Keep your step right here
Amber on the stone
Draw the circle near
Lanterna swinging low
Bass inside the chest
Moving in the dark
Let the daylight rest
Verse 2
Tin cup sweating on the wooden chair
Orange smoke drifting through the heavy air
Your hand finds my wrist in the fading heat
Count of four sinking down into our feet
Gravel turns quiet under heel and toe
Everything softens where the slow winds blow
Pre-Chorus
Feel the ground lean in
Feel the warmth give way
One breath on your neck
Nothing left to say
Chorus
Lanterna swinging low
Keep your step right here
Amber on the stone
Draw the circle near
Lanterna swinging low
Bass inside the chest
Moving in the dark
Let the daylight rest
Bridge
Sky turns violet, copper turns black
No turning forward, no looking back
Just the wick burning down to the wire
Just the pulse underneath the quiet fire
Chorus
Lanterna swinging low
Keep your step right here
Amber on the stone
Draw the circle near
Lanterna swinging low
Bass inside the chest
Moving in the dark
Let the daylight rest
