Catching slow in the fading dark lyrics
Verse 1
Stone floor holding the heat of noon
Ash still soft where the fire burned soon
You circle slow with your shoulder low
Sparks lift up where the embers glow
No words pass but your hip knows mine
Beat drops down like a falling line
Pre-Chorus
Feel the coal breathe under gray
Nothing rushes, nothing runs away
One small shift and the space grows small
Chorus
Warm ember glowing from a spark
Catching slow in the fading dark
Two bodies close where the light bends thin
Warm ember glowing, let it in
Warm ember glowing
Warm ember glowing
Verse 2
Smoke curls up past your open hand
Bare feet reading the heated sand
Kick drum low like a second pulse
Nothing spoken, nothing else
You lean in closer on the offbeat sway
Heat between us won't fade away
Pre-Chorus
Feel the coal breathe under gray
Nothing rushes, nothing runs away
One small shift and the space grows small
Chorus
Warm ember glowing from a spark
Catching slow in the fading dark
Two bodies close where the light bends thin
Warm ember glowing, let it in
Warm ember glowing
Warm ember glowing
Bridge
Every spark needs a little air
Every fire needs someone there
Hold the heat, don't let it drop
Breathe it steady, don't let it stop
Chorus
Warm ember glowing from a spark
Catching slow in the fading dark
Two bodies close where the light bends thin
Warm ember glowing, let it in
Warm ember glowing
Warm ember glowing
