Silver on the skin, quiet in the strain (Version 2) lyrics
Verse 1
Tin roof humming with the sudden storm
Red clay cooling where your feet stay warm
Droplets shining on your shoulder blade
Catching the rhythm in the dark we made
Pre-Chorus
Do you feel the water rising slow?
Where your body moves is where I go
Catch the pulse before the thunder breaks
Every single step your shadow takes
Chorus
We dance like mirrors in the rain
Silver on the skin, quiet in the strain
Water on the stone, washing out the pain
We dance like mirrors in the rain
Verse 2
Puddles deep around our ankles now
Night air settling on a dusty brow
Log drum humming through the open yard
Two bodies moving where the ground is hard
Pre-Chorus
Do you feel the water rising slow?
Where your body moves is where I go
Catch the pulse before the thunder breaks
Every single step your shadow takes
Chorus
We dance like mirrors in the rain
Silver on the skin, quiet in the strain
Water on the stone, washing out the pain
We dance like mirrors in the rain
Bridge
No roof above us, only falling skies
Nothing to follow but your steady eyes
The storm keeps time upon the street
Two silhouettes in the heavy beat
Chorus
We dance like mirrors in the rain
Silver on the skin, quiet in the strain
Water on the stone, washing out the pain
We dance like mirrors in the rain
