Silk and Cedar (Version 3)

Verse 1

Copper lanterns on a whitewashed wall

Hear the rhythm through the arches call

Kicked our sandals by the courtyard gate

Nothing heavy in the steps we make

Pre-Chorus

Feel the fever start to rise

No more ceiling in our eyes

Tell me who can hold us down

When our feet have left the ground

Chorus

Wrapped in silk and cedar we fly

Nothing between our skin and the sky

Shake the shadows out of your hair

Only the rhythm can find us there

Verse 2

Sweet black tea cooling on the stone

Nobody dancing in this room alone

Every shoulder moving clean and free

Spilling laughter like an open sea

Pre-Chorus

Feel the fever start to rise

No more ceiling in our eyes

Tell me who can hold us down

When our feet have left the ground

Chorus

Wrapped in silk and cedar we fly

Nothing between our skin and the sky

Shake the shadows out of your hair

Only the rhythm can find us there

Bridge

Let the timber take the heat

Let the timber take the beat

Every breath is an open door

Leave tomorrow on the cedar floor

Chorus

Wrapped in silk and cedar we fly

Nothing between our skin and the sky

Shake the shadows out of your hair

Only the rhythm can find us there
