Verse 1
Red sun sinking on the cinder block wall
Bare feet shifting where the deep logs fall
You do not speak, you just lean my way
Dust on your ankle from the heat of the day
Ribbon of blue from the charcoal coil
Drifting on skin that is sweeter than oil
One small step and your shoulder meets mine
Letting the heavy wood settle the time
Pre-Chorus
Do you feel the pull
When the bass rolls wide
Do you feel the pull
With the dark outside
Chorus
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Chest to chest where the drum feels right
No words moving, just the sway and the light
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Verse 2
Sweat cools soft on the back of your neck
Embers of cedar glowing red on the deck
Two shadows blurring on the edge of the lawn
Nothing to say till the shadows are gone
You close your eyes and you give me your weight
Slow like the river at the iron gate
Nothing to ask and there is nothing to prove
Only the dust and the way that you move
Pre-Chorus
Do you feel the pull
When the bass rolls wide
Do you feel the pull
With the dark outside
Chorus
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Chest to chest where the drum feels right
No words moving, just the sway and the light
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Bridge
Ground stays warm when the sun goes down
Breath on breath, not a single sound
Let the thin coil rise in the slow roll drum
Hold this pace till the morning comes
Chorus
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Chest to chest where the drum feels right
No words moving, just the sway and the light
Smoke signals in the low warm night
