Verse 1
Sun resting low on the brick yard wall
Bass shakes the timber, steady and tall
Red clay holds heat beneath bare feet
You catch my step right on the beat
A quiet tilt of your chin my way
Nothing left that we need to say
Pre-Chorus
The wood burns down to grey
The low end pulls away
You take one step, I know
Where this is gonna go
Chorus
Smoke signals rising slow
Your body says all I know
Warm dust and the red coal glow
Smoke signals rising slow
Verse 2
Sweet grass drifting across the floor
Shadows stretching past the kitchen door
Sweat cool and shining on your collarbone
Two moving bodies like they're carved in stone
You drop your weight, you roll your spine
Your pulse is knocking right in time with mine
Pre-Chorus
The wood burns down to grey
The low end pulls away
You take one step, I know
Where this is gonna go
Chorus
Smoke signals rising slow
Your body says all I know
Warm dust and the red coal glow
Smoke signals rising slow
Bridge
No speaking in the drift
Just the way your shoulders shift
Ground stays warm beneath our toes
We follow where the timber goes
Chorus
Smoke signals rising slow
Your body says all I know
Warm dust and the red coal glow
Smoke signals rising slow
