Swing Low Lanterna 2

Verse 1

Tin roof humming on the lower pitch

Hanging from a wire and an iron stitch

Dust on your collar, sweat on your cheek

We don't need a word when the floor can speak

Bare heels digging in the red-packed clay

You move two inches and the shadows sway

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the draft come through

Can you feel it bend to you

Keep your shoulder on my chest

Let the log drum do the rest

Chorus

Swing low lanterna, swing low

Show us where the heavy steps go

Yellow light cutting through the smoke and the floor

Swing low lanterna, we don't need no more

Verse 2

Glass on the casing turning copper and black

Warm wind slipping down your neck and your back

Four in the morning with the gate pushed wide

Nobody asking what is kept inside

You match my breathing till the kick drum drops

Nothing in this circle ever really stops

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the draft come through

Can you feel it bend to you

Keep your shoulder on my chest

Let the log drum do the rest

Chorus

Swing low lanterna, swing low

Show us where the heavy steps go

Yellow light cutting through the smoke and the floor

Swing low lanterna, we don't need no more

Bridge

Tether in the rafters, heat in the stone

Nobody walking this yard alone

One little flicker holding back the cold

Every slow turn is a promise told

Chorus

Swing low lanterna, swing low

Show us where the heavy steps go

Yellow light cutting through the smoke and the floor

Swing low lanterna, we don't need no more
