Verse 1
Sun leans on the courtyard wall
Long shadows start to crawl
Bare feet on the warm red stone
We don't dance out here alone
Kerosene burning sweet and slow
Copper wire tied down below
You tilt your head to catch the drum
Waiting for the cool to come
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel the timber hum
Underneath your heel and thumb
Take my wrist and draw the line
Right before the sun goes blind
Chorus
Lanterna swinging low
Lanterna swinging low
Red light on your collarbone
Moving where the warm winds blow
Lanterna swinging low
Lanterna swinging low
Let the heavy log drum speak
Every step is all we know
Verse 2
Cool water in the clay bowl
Rhythm taking full control
Wrinkles in your linen shirt
Bare toes kicking up the dirt
Nobody speaks, nobody calls
Bassline shaking through the walls
Two shadows folding into one
Drinking what is left of sun
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel the timber hum
Underneath your heel and thumb
Take my wrist and draw the line
Right before the sun goes blind
Chorus
Lanterna swinging low
Lanterna swinging low
Red light on your collarbone
Moving where the warm winds blow
Lanterna swinging low
Lanterna swinging low
Let the heavy log drum speak
Every step is all we know
Bridge
Stay right here
Chest to chest
Let the evening settle west
No need for words across the floor
We sway until we need no more
Chorus
Lanterna swinging low
Lanterna swinging low
Red light on your collarbone
Moving where the warm winds blow
Lanterna swinging low
Lanterna swinging low
Let the heavy log drum speak
Every step is all we know
