Follow the lanterna swing

Verse 1

Paraffin light on an iron rail.

Wind in the dry grass blowing pale.

Bare feet shifting on red clay ground.

Bass starts rolling without a sound.

You take my wrist with a quiet hand.

We let the rhythm decide the land.

No words spoken across the space.

Yellow shade drifting across your face.

Pre-Chorus

Iron begins to hum.

Under the skin, the drum.

Step to the circle now.

Body remembers how.

Chorus

Follow the lanterna swing.

We do not ask for anything.

Shadows bend where the rafters cling.

Follow the lanterna swing.

Verse 2

Sweat runs cool on your open throat.

Sub-bass carries the heavy note.

Brick wall breathing the midday heat.

Heel stays steady inside the beat.

You lean your temple against my chest.

Nothing to prove and no need to rest.

Out past the courtyard the valley sleeps.

Only the groove that the darkness keeps.

Pre-Chorus

Iron begins to hum.

Under the skin, the drum.

Step to the circle now.

Body remembers how.

Chorus

Follow the lanterna swing.

We do not ask for anything.

Shadows bend where the rafters cling.

Follow the lanterna swing.

Bridge

Light leans left, we lean along.

Movement is older than the song.

Close your eyes, feel the iron glow.

Slow, so slow.

Chorus

Follow the lanterna swing.

We do not ask for anything.

Shadows bend where the rafters cling.

Follow the lanterna swing.
