Verse 1
Saffron thread and a cup of tea
Shadow leaning from your neck to me
Barefoot balance on the terrace tile
You don't rush when you give that smile
Heavy brass ring on your thumb today
Spinning slow while the guitars play
Pre-Chorus
The wind kicks up from the southern pass
Heat rising steady through the colored glass
Why would I run when you hold so fast?
Chorus
Caught in your stride and I lose control
Sun on your skin like nomad gold
Two worn soles on an open road
Carrying only what we hold
Caught in your stride and I lose control
Sun on your skin like nomad gold
Verse 2
Pocket knife carving up a melon rind
Not an old regret on my mind
Cumin smoke in the market square
Catch your hand and I pull you there
Wooden beads clicking on your chest
Nowhere else I would rather rest
Pre-Chorus
The wind kicks up from the southern pass
Heat rising steady through the colored glass
Why would I run when you hold so fast?
Chorus
Caught in your stride and I lose control
Sun on your skin like nomad gold
Two worn soles on an open road
Carrying only what we hold
Caught in your stride and I lose control
Sun on your skin like nomad gold
Bridge
I used to drift just to keep my pace
Never stayed long in an easy place
Now you step in and the wandering ends
Right where the dust and the daylight bends
Chorus
Caught in your stride and I lose control
Sun on your skin like nomad gold
Two worn soles on an open road
Carrying only what we hold
Caught in your stride and I lose control
Sun on your skin like nomad gold
