Warm ember glowing from a spark (Version 4)

Verse 1

Blue smoke drifting past the screen

Late hours and nothing in between

Your hand rests flat against my side

Deep pulse where shadows learn to hide

Bare feet together on the stone

Two quiet figures on their own

Pre-Chorus

Let it roll, let it hum

Lean into the wooden drum

Breathe it in, breathe it low

Where the embers go, we go

Chorus

Smoke signals rising in the dark

Warm ember glowing from a spark

No sound, just rhythm in the skin

Smoke signals rising in the dark

Verse 2

Chalk dust settling on your sleeve

Too late to talk, too late to leave

Low bass vibrating through the floor

Cool air beneath the heavy door

You turn, your temple on my chest

One count is all we need to rest

Pre-Chorus

Let it roll, let it hum

Lean into the wooden drum

Breathe it in, breathe it low

Where the embers go, we go

Chorus

Smoke signals rising in the dark

Warm ember glowing from a spark

No sound, just rhythm in the skin

Smoke signals rising in the dark

Bridge

Ash on the corner of the brick

Time moving heavy, moving thick

We do not look to find the sky

We let the quiet pass us by

Chorus

Smoke signals rising in the dark

Warm ember glowing from a spark

No sound, just rhythm in the skin

Smoke signals rising in the dark
