Verse 1
Red sun dipping past the corrugated tin
Log drum rolling where the twilight begins
You turn your shoulder where the ember catches low
Nothing needs a whisper that the body doesn't know
Bare heels shifting on the cooling paving stone
Two shadows leaning till they settle into one
Pre-Chorus
Log drum heavy in the chest
Sun going down in the west
Watch it lift, watch it slow
Nowhere else we need to go
Chorus
Smoke signals rising in the amber light
We don't need a word to get the rhythm right
Smoke signals rising, let the bassline speak
Holding on to sunset till the night gets deep
Verse 2
Ash floating easy through the sweet dry air
One bead of sweat running slow past your hair
Fingers touch my wrist just to set the cadence down
Whole yard breathing with the rumble in the ground
Sky turns violet where the chimney starts to blow
Every single step is a language that we know
Pre-Chorus
Log drum heavy in the chest
Sun going down in the west
Watch it lift, watch it slow
Nowhere else we need to go
Chorus
Smoke signals rising in the amber light
We don't need a word to get the rhythm right
Smoke signals rising, let the bassline speak
Holding on to sunset till the night gets deep
Bridge
No talking, just the drum
Watch the grey curl up to the sun
Warm skin, open space
Hold my hand and keep the pace
Chorus
Smoke signals rising in the amber light
We don't need a word to get the rhythm right
Smoke signals rising, let the bassline speak
Holding on to sunset till the night gets deep
