Verse 1
Red coals breathing by the corner wall
Your shoulders moving as the log drums fall
Two feet sliding on the polished stone
Nobody speaking, but we're not alone
You take one breath and you hold my eyes
The low end rumbles where the cedar lies
Pre-Chorus
No words to say
The air turns thin
No words to say
Let the groove pull in
Chorus
Smoke signals rising between us
Heavier than speech, deeper than the dust
Smoke signals rising between us
Step to the drum, moving because we must
Smoke signals rising between us
Verse 2
Sweat cools slow on the back of your neck
Bass rattles easy through the open deck
Your fingers tap on a copper cup
Sky leans down while the bass rolls up
Shadow leans close when you turn around
We let our weight settle in the ground
Pre-Chorus
No words to say
The air turns thin
No words to say
Let the groove pull in
Chorus
Smoke signals rising between us
Heavier than speech, deeper than the dust
Smoke signals rising between us
Step to the drum, moving because we must
Smoke signals rising between us
Bridge
From the clay to the chest
Nothing left to confess
From the stone to the spine
Your rhythm, mine
Chorus
Smoke signals rising between us
Heavier than speech, deeper than the dust
Smoke signals rising between us
Step to the drum, moving because we must
Smoke signals rising between us
