Sandalwood Drift (wersja 2)

Verse 1

Amber glass resting on the cedar rail

Linen curtain blowing like a slow white sail

Cardamom steaming from a copper pot

Leaving all the hurry in the parking lot

Sun on your knuckles where the silver shines

Reading every promise in the palm lines

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the daylight stretching long?

Everything that rattled us is dead and gone

Chorus

Stay right here in the sandalwood drift

Sun-warmed air giving everything a lift

Brass bells ringing down the cobblestone

Never felt as steady in the skin and bone

Caught up easy in the sandalwood drift

Verse 2

Clay drums talking through a wooden door

Bare feet tapping on the courtyard floor

Smoke curled sweet in the weave of your hair

Not a single worry in the heavy air

You tip your chin back, smiling at the sun

Knowing that the best of it has just begun

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the daylight stretching long?

Everything that rattled us is dead and gone

Chorus

Stay right here in the sandalwood drift

Sun-warmed air giving everything a lift

Brass bells ringing down the cobblestone

Never felt as steady in the skin and bone

Caught up easy in the sandalwood drift

Bridge

Tomorrow can knock at the garden gate

Looking for the hours that we gave away

If time is a current pulling out to sea

We drop our anchor where we want to be

Chorus

Stay right here in the sandalwood drift

Sun-warmed air giving everything a lift

Brass bells ringing down the cobblestone

Never felt as steady in the skin and bone

Caught up easy in the sandalwood drift
