Bamboo in the Dark (Version 2) lyrics
Intro
Dust in the beam of the floor lamp
Your ankle brushes against mine
Verse 1
Bamboo stalks like a row of hands
Swaying slow in the dark room light
Your eyes find mine across the crowd
Nothing says 'go' tonight
Pre-Chorus
Take your time, don't lose it now
Let this riddim turn us round
Chorus
Bamboo in the dark
Dust and gold light on your neck
Bamboo sway back to the sound
Stay with me, keep it slow tonight
Verse 2
Your shoulder grazes the speaker wire
Heat rises off of your skin
Cassava scent and diesel smoke
This one move will last till dawn
Pre-Chorus
Take your time, don't lose it now
Let this riddim turn us round
Chorus
Bamboo in the dark
Dust and gold light on your neck
Bamboo sway back to the sound
Stay with me, keep it slow tonight
Bridge
No need for words, no need for speed
Just you moving close by my side
Gold in your hair when it catches
Sun don't rise till this whole room dies
Chorus
Bamboo in the dark
Dust and gold light on your neck
Bamboo sway back to the sound
Stay with me, keep it slow tonight
