Follow the Drums Home lyrics
Verse
Red dust rising where the bare feet land
Copper skin catching on a lantern strand
Kick drum calling from the riverside
We move together till the horn line cries
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it climbing through the floor
Every heartbeat asking for one more
Chorus
Follow the drums home, follow the drums home
Through the smoke and the sirens till the dark is gone
Follow the drums home, follow the drums home
Dancing till the sunrise, we don't walk alone
Verse
Palm wine sweat on shoulders pressed in line
Bassline running underneath the treeline
Circle wide then close it like a fist
Nobody's leaving till the last drum hits
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it climbing through the floor
Every heartbeat asking for one more
Chorus
Follow the drums home, follow the drums home
Through the smoke and the sirens till the dark is gone
Follow the drums home, follow the drums home
Dancing till the sunrise, we don't walk alone
Bridge
Hands up high where the amber light hits
Feet don't stop till the horizon splits
No more shadows, no more far away
Just the drum, just the crowd, just the break of day
Chorus
Follow the drums home, follow the drums home
Through the smoke and the sirens till the dark is gone
Follow the drums home, follow the drums home
Dancing till the sunrise, we don't walk alone
