Smoke signals in the fading light (Version 2) lyrics
Verse
Clay bricks holding the day's heat
Cedar burning slow and sweet
You lean against the wooden rail
Sun goes down like an iron nail
Your fingers tap against your thigh
Matching the kick as it rolls by
Pre-Chorus
Log drum drops down low
Where do the shadows go
You turn your wrist, you nod your head
Nothing is lost, nothing is said
Chorus
Smoke signals in the fading light
Your hands are talking to the sound
Smoke signals in the fading light
Red dust rising off the ground
Verse
Spilled water drying on the stone
Bassline vibrating through the bone
Warm breeze catching in your shirt
Bare feet heavy in the dirt
Your shoulder rolls, you pull me near
Only the low hum living here
Pre-Chorus
Log drum drops down low
Where do the shadows go
You turn your wrist, you nod your head
Nothing is lost, nothing is said
Chorus
Smoke signals in the fading light
Your hands are talking to the sound
Smoke signals in the fading light
Red dust rising off the ground
Bridge
The coals turn grey, the orange dies
Smoke clearing out between your eyes
No space between the drum and skin
This is where the quiet begins
Chorus
Smoke signals in the fading light
Your hands are talking to the sound
Smoke signals in the fading light
Red dust rising off the ground
