Sundial in my chest 2 3

Verse

I find my time in the glow of your lamp

Hours running late like a river's bend

The clock keeps ticking but I don't look twice

Your shadow on the wall and I am spent

Log drums beating slow across the room

Bass humming where our shoulders meet

Feet find a pulse that doesn't need the floor

In this four-count world I'm free to breathe

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it? The drum is calling me

Over your shoulder, into the heat

Leave the hands on time, let them drift away

I want the long ones, the ones we don't keep

Chorus

Sundial in my chest

Bass keeps us warm when daylight goes to rest

Every minute I lose

Finds itself again where your eyes meet mine

Sun up slow, sun down deep

Sundial in my chest

I don't need a hand to count the years

Just watch me move with yours through all the tears

Verse

Bare floor, soft light, hands find each other's skin

The room slows like a river when it starts to rain

The log drum hums a low and easy tone

Every step is one I've taken back before the dawn

Your shoulder, your wrist, my collarbone against yours

We don't need an hour, we make our own time

In this amber glow where shadows dance and play

I'm losing track but keeping pace with you in mind

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it? The drum is calling me

Over your shoulder, into the heat

Leave the hands on time, let them drift away

I want the long ones, the ones we don't keep

Chorus

Sundial in my chest

Bass keeps us warm when daylight goes to rest

Every minute I lose

Finds itself again where your eyes meet mine

Sun up slow, sun down deep

Sundial in my chest

I don't need a hand to count the years

Just watch me move with yours through all the tears

Bridge

No clock here

Only breath and floor

You are my pulse now

I am not lost anymore

In the dark I find your light

And it keeps us moving till the first rays come up

Chorus

Sundial in my chest

Bass keeps us warm when daylight goes to rest

Every minute I lose

Finds itself again where your eyes meet mine

Sun up slow, sun down deep

Sundial in my chest

I don't need a hand to count the years

Just watch me move with yours through all the tears
