Slow rhythm taking what we came to be (Version 2) lyrics
Verse 1
Sun cuts orange through the wire gate
Woodsmoke hanging where the people wait
Your feet press steady in the cooling red dirt
Heat still rolling off your cotton shirt
You catch my eye through the drifting haze
Nobody talking while the shaker plays
Pre-Chorus
Two steps closer now
Dust on your brown skin
You don't say a word
Just let the log drum in
Chorus
Smoke signals rising between you and me
Slow rhythm taking what we came to be
Sky going purple over warm concrete
Smoke signals rising between you and me
Verse 2
Charcoal cracking in the open drum
My chest leaning on the deep sub-hum
You tilt your chin and you drop down low
Matching the measure where the embers glow
No phone glowing, no name to clear
Only the heavy air holding us here
Pre-Chorus
Two steps closer now
Dust on your brown skin
You don't say a word
Just let the log drum in
Chorus
Smoke signals rising between you and me
Slow rhythm taking what we came to be
Sky going purple over warm concrete
Smoke signals rising between you and me
Bridge
Cinder in the wind, breath on my collar
No space left for a shout or a holler
Just palms open, hips on time
The whole yard quiet while your steps meet mine
Chorus
Smoke signals rising between you and me
Slow rhythm taking what we came to be
Sky going purple over warm concrete
Smoke signals rising between you and me
