Touches you first, before I do (Version 2) lyrics
Verse
Dust rising soft where the fan blades turn
Copper light on the courtyard fern
Radio hum through the cinderblock wall
Slow drum waiting before it falls
You lift an arm, let the current pass
Hem goes loose over dry grass
Pre-Chorus
Feel it lift before I move
Something honest, nothing to prove
Standing still but already gone
Carried off by the same warm song
Chorus
Warm air moving against your dress
Touches you first, before I do
Every thread holds the same address
Sky going soft, and I'm following you
Warm air moving against your dress
Warm air moving against your dress
Verse
Tin roof ticking as the heat lets go
Bare feet dragging a line below
Paraffin lamp on the wooden crate
Shoulders turning, learning to wait
Cotton lifting like it knows the way
Further than my hands can say
Pre-Chorus
Feel it lift before I move
Something honest, nothing to prove
Standing still but already gone
Carried off by the same warm song
Chorus
Warm air moving against your dress
Touches you first, before I do
Every thread holds the same address
Sky going soft, and I'm following you
Warm air moving against your dress
Warm air moving against your dress
Bridge
So I stop waiting on the wind to lead
Close the distance, plant the seed
Palm to your waist where the fabric ends
Now the current bends
No more standing at the edge of this
Just the dark and how it drifts
Chorus
Warm air moving against your dress
Touches you first, before I do
Every thread holds the same address
Sky going soft, and I'm following you
Warm air moving against your dress
Warm air moving against your dress
