Salt and Smoke lyrics
Intro
Palm wine sweet
Salt on my skin
Verse
Log drum low through my feet now
Your shoulder close to the fire's glow
Two cups down but I dey feel it
Body catching what dey never tire
Pre-Chorus
Feel that pull, let it take us under
Warm air rising off your collarbone
One little step and we're both surrendering
Hold on tight till the night let go
Chorus
Salt and smoke curl around our skin
Let it burn before the day gives in
Moving soft where the floor can't hold us
We don't need to chase the light again
Verse 2
Bassline climbing from my knees now
Wine on the rocks turning amber slow
No clock ticking, just this easy knowing
Heat dey build till our pulses glow
Pre-Chorus
Feel that pull, let it take us under
Warm air rising off your collarbone
One little step and we're both surrendering
Hold on tight till the night let go
Chorus
Salt and smoke curl around our skin
Let it burn before the day gives in
Moving soft where the floor can't hold us
We don't need to chase the light again
Bridge
No clock, no name
Just this heat, just this flame
Nothing left to say
Just let dey burn away
Chorus
Salt and smoke curl around our skin
Let it burn before the day gives in
Moving soft where the floor can't hold us
We don't need to chase the light again
