Verse 1
Red clay cooling under your feet
The shaker steady through the river heat
Your shoulder leaning where my shoulder stays
The bassline rolling through the amber haze
Sweat turns cool on the back of your neck
We leave the dry grass, we leave the deck
Pre-Chorus
Feel the tremor rise from the sand
Take the pulse right out of my hand
Where do we go when the red sun dies
Follow the low note down
Chorus
Into the water, into the ground
Let your weight drop to the sound
Skin on skin while the river cools
Into the water, into the ground
Deep in the bassline, nowhere to run
Into the water, into the ground
Verse 2
Ripples on the bank where your bare heels turn
The last of the copper begins to burn
No talking now, just breath on the bone
Two bodies moving like a single stone
Wet silt rising up around your knees
A low drum drifting through the willow trees
Pre-Chorus
Feel the tremor rise from the sand
Take the pulse right out of my hand
Where do we go when the red sun dies
Follow the low note down
Chorus
Into the water, into the ground
Let your weight drop to the sound
Skin on skin while the river cools
Into the water, into the ground
Deep in the bassline, nowhere to run
Into the water, into the ground
Bridge
River takes the heat away
Earth takes all we could not say
Hold the rhythm, let it pull
Empty out till the chest is full
Chorus
Into the water, into the ground
Let your weight drop to the sound
Skin on skin while the river cools
Into the water, into the ground
Deep in the bassline, nowhere to run
Into the water, into the ground
