Verse 1
Dust rises easy where your heels come down
Red sky fading on the edge of town
One kick drum beating in the open air
Sweet smoke drifting through your braided hair
You lean closer with your eyes half-closed
Heat rising steady from the brick and stones
Pre-Chorus
Watch the grey ring climb
Feel the bass catch time
You don't have to speak
Just let the gravel find your feet
Chorus
Smoke signals in the low warm night
We moving easy in the charcoal light
No words needed, just the drum and space
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Verse 2
Cold cup resting on an upturned crate
Shoulders brushing while the log drums wait
Your right palm open near the speaker box
Footsteps counting what the rhythm locks
Cigarette burning down slow and quiet
Nothing out here but the ground and violet
Pre-Chorus
Watch the grey ring climb
Feel the bass catch time
You don't have to speak
Just let the gravel find your feet
Chorus
Smoke signals in the low warm night
We moving easy in the charcoal light
No words needed, just the drum and space
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Bridge
Breath on collarbone, heat in the chest
The sun goes under and we leave the rest
Skin knows where the deep note goes
From the dusty earth to the tips of toes
Chorus
Smoke signals in the low warm night
We moving easy in the charcoal light
No words needed, just the drum and space
Smoke signals in the low warm night
