Verse 1
Red dust settling on your ankles now
Sun sinks slow behind the brick wall brow
Coals burn down to a steady gray
You turn your chin, look across the way
One breath out, watch the circle rise
Bassline trembling through the open skies
Pre-Chorus
Step closer to the low hum
Step closer till the pulse comes
Nothing we have to say
Let the dark have its way
Chorus
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Bare feet heavy on the cool red ground
Your shadow bending into mine
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Verse 2
Sweat cools down on your collarbone
We let the rhythm take the yard alone
Zinc roof clicking in the evening heat
Two slow bodies keeping simple beat
You tap my wrist, leave your fingers there
Thin blue drift through the resting air
Pre-Chorus
Step closer to the low hum
Step closer till the pulse comes
Nothing we have to say
Let the dark have its way
Chorus
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Bare feet heavy on the cool red ground
Your shadow bending into mine
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Bridge
No names needed in the dust and hum
Only the work that the beat has done
Hold that breath till the air turns blue
It moves through me, it moves through you
Chorus
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Bare feet heavy on the cool red ground
Your shadow bending into mine
Smoke signals in the low warm night
