Verse 1
Amber glass resting on the cedar rail
Linen curtain blowing like a slow white sail
Cardamom steaming from a copper pot
Leaving all the hurry in the parking lot
Sun on your knuckles where the silver shines
Reading every promise in the palm lines
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel the daylight stretching long?
Everything that rattled us is dead and gone
Chorus
Stay right here in the sandalwood drift
Sun-warmed air giving everything a lift
Brass bells ringing down the cobblestone
Never felt as steady in the skin and bone
Caught up easy in the sandalwood drift
Verse 2
Clay drums talking through a wooden door
Bare feet tapping on the courtyard floor
Smoke curled sweet in the weave of your hair
Not a single worry in the heavy air
You tip your chin back, smiling at the sun
Knowing that the best of it has just begun
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel the daylight stretching long?
Everything that rattled us is dead and gone
Chorus
Stay right here in the sandalwood drift
Sun-warmed air giving everything a lift
Brass bells ringing down the cobblestone
Never felt as steady in the skin and bone
Caught up easy in the sandalwood drift
Bridge
Tomorrow can knock at the garden gate
Looking for the hours that we gave away
If time is a current pulling out to sea
We drop our anchor where we want to be
Chorus
Stay right here in the sandalwood drift
Sun-warmed air giving everything a lift
Brass bells ringing down the cobblestone
Never felt as steady in the skin and bone
Caught up easy in the sandalwood drift
