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
