Lanterna, swing low, swing slow (Version 2)

Verse

Red dirt cooling under bare feet

Low drum humming where the walls meet

Amber glass hanging from the wire

Sun drops heavy like a dying fire

No talk needed when the groove stays

Two frames rocking in the evening haze

Pre-Chorus

Feel the low end take the floor

Shadows stretching past the door

Swing it easy, swing it slow

Where you step is where I go

Chorus

Lanterna, swing low, swing slow

Dust on our feet in the amber glow

Lanterna, hold us in the line

Your rhythm falling into mine

Verse

The sky turns purple on the zinc roof

Deep sub rolling under every move

Palm on my ribs, cool as river stone

Neither one dancing on our own

Sweat like water where our chests touch

We don't need a word to say this much

Pre-Chorus

Feel the low end take the floor

Shadows stretching past the door

Swing it easy, swing it slow

Where you step is where I go

Chorus

Lanterna, swing low, swing slow

Dust on our feet in the amber glow

Lanterna, hold us in the line

Your rhythm falling into mine

Bridge

Let the oil burn down to the wick

Keep the pulse heavy, steady and thick

Close your eyes, let the timber shake

Take what the morning cannot take

Chorus

Lanterna, swing low, swing slow

Dust on our feet in the amber glow

Lanterna, hold us in the line

Your rhythm falling into mine
