Lanterna Swing (wersja 2)

Verse 1

Sun goes down behind the wall

Long red shadows start to fall

Sandals kicked into the grass

Ice is melting in the glass

Your shoulder settles on my chest

The day was long, now let it rest

Pre-Chorus

Wire is humming overhead

Zinc turns cool and sky turns red

Do you feel that rolling hum

Here it comes, the heavy drum

Chorus

Hold my hand and let it in

Watch that lanterna swing

Dust on stone and skin on skin

Watch that lanterna swing

Verse 2

Paraffin burning sweet and slow

Gold light on your collarbone

You don't ask what tomorrow brings

You only follow how it rings

Two steps left and two steps back

The speaker rattles on the stack

Pre-Chorus

Wire is humming overhead

Zinc turns cool and sky turns red

Do you feel that rolling hum

Here it comes, the heavy drum

Chorus

Hold my hand and let it in

Watch that lanterna swing

Dust on stone and skin on skin

Watch that lanterna swing

Bridge

The yard is warm, the night is long

We don't need another song

Just the weight of where you lean

And the dust that moves between

Chorus

Hold my hand and let it in

Watch that lanterna swing

Dust on stone and skin on skin

Watch that lanterna swing
