Sundown Rituals (Version 2)

Verse

Copper sky over rooftops low

Your eyes find mine in the afterglow

Dust on my ankles, drum in my chest

Stranger's hand on the small of my back, yes

Pre-Chorus

Sun going down, drums getting loud

Lost in the rhythm, lost in the crowd

Something is starting, can you feel it too

Chorus

Sundown rituals, you and I

Bodies speaking without a why

Sundown rituals, hold the beat

Dancing till the stars and the streetlights meet

Verse

Palm wine warm in the plastic cup

Bass in the floor keeps building up

Your shoulder brushes, we don't break stride

Same four counts keeping us both inside

Pre-Chorus

Sun going down, drums getting loud

Lost in the rhythm, lost in the crowd

Something is starting, can you feel it too

Chorus

Sundown rituals, you and I

Bodies speaking without a why

Sundown rituals, hold the beat

Dancing till the stars and the streetlights meet

Bridge

No need for talking, the drum says enough

Your hand finds mine when the beat gets rough

Circle keeps turning, we turn with it too

This whole wide floor, but I'm watching you

Chorus

Sundown rituals, you and I

Bodies speaking without a why

Sundown rituals, hold the beat

Dancing till the stars and the streetlights meet
