Verse 1
Red coals glowing in the steel drum ring
Warm brick holding what the daytime brings
You don't say a word, you just turn your chest
Letting that log drum settle the rest
Pre-Chorus
Gray coil rising from the open grill
Air so heavy and the yard so still
Can you read the sign, can you feel the heat
Two slow steps on the dusty concrete
Chorus
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Your shoulder leaning into amber light
No words moving, but we got it right
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Verse 2
Shadows stretching on the plaster wall
Bass drops heavy, letting nothing fall
Your eyes catch the spark where the embers glow
Every small sway saying all we know
Pre-Chorus
Gray coil rising from the open grill
Air so heavy and the yard so still
Can you read the sign, can you feel the heat
Two slow steps on the dusty concrete
Chorus
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Your shoulder leaning into amber light
No words moving, but we got it right
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Bridge
The sky turns purple and the ashes fall
We don't need a single word at all
Just chest to chest where the rhythm stays
Breathing together through the drifting haze
Chorus
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Your shoulder leaning into amber light
No words moving, but we got it right
Smoke signals in the low warm night
