Lyrics

Verse 1

Dirt path narrow past the old fence line

Lantern swinging on a piece of twine

Orange glow across your bare feet

Every step lands where the log drums beat

You don't ask me, you just read the sway

Shoulders learning what the light won't say

Pre-Chorus

Watch it swing before you move

Body finds its own true groove

Dark ahead but we don't fear

Follow close and stay right here

Chorus

Follow the lanterna swing slowly

Feet in the dust, holding

Follow the lanterna swing slowly

Nothing said, just moving

Follow the lanterna swing slowly

Verse 2

Smoke curls thin around the hanging flame

Your hand brushes mine, we don't need a name

Gravel shifting soft beneath our weight

Rhythm pulling slower than the gate

Hips remember what the feet forgot

Light on your collar, warm and caught

Pre-Chorus

Watch it swing before you move

Body finds its own true groove

Dark ahead but we don't fear

Follow close and stay right here

Chorus

Follow the lanterna swing slowly

Feet in the dust, holding

Follow the lanterna swing slowly

Nothing said, just moving

Follow the lanterna swing slowly

Bridge

Wick is burning low and small

Still we don't stop, still we don't fall

Trust the swing, trust the sound

Trust the ground beneath us now

Every shadow knows our name

Even after this dies to flame

Chorus

Follow the lanterna swing slowly

Feet in the dust, holding

Follow the lanterna swing slowly

Nothing said, just moving

Follow the lanterna swing slowly
