Speaking to the bone lyrics
Verse 1
Red dust resting on the yard outside
Sun going down where the heat can't hide
Bare feet touching on the cooling stone
Your ribs leaning where the bass is thrown
Pre-Chorus
Do you feel the stone begin to sway
Hear the heavy things we never say
Drop coming in, steady and slow
Tell me where the shoulders go
Chorus
Log drum love language
Speaking to the bone
Log drum love language
Never dance alone
Rumble in the chest, rhythm in the floor
We don't need a word to know what it is for
Verse 2
Amber light fading on your collarbone
Speakers humming in the red-brick stone
Breeze moving soft on the salted skin
Letting another hollow roll begin
Pre-Chorus
Do you feel the stone begin to sway
Hear the heavy things we never say
Drop coming in, steady and slow
Tell me where the shoulders go
Chorus
Log drum love language
Speaking to the bone
Log drum love language
Never dance alone
Rumble in the chest, rhythm in the floor
We don't need a word to know what it is for
Bridge
Sky turns purple, the yard goes deep
Promises the body knows how to keep
Just the soles of our feet on the rattle of the drum
Waiting for the second drop to come
Chorus
Log drum love language
Speaking to the bone
Log drum love language
Never dance alone
Rumble in the chest, rhythm in the floor
We don't need a word to know what it is for
