Verse 1
Cinders floating off the wire fence
Bass drum knocking where the stone begins
You don't say a word, you just tilt your head
Swaying where the shadow and the gravel blend
Two steps forward on the hard-packed clay
Let the heavy rhythm take the words away
Pre-Chorus
Watch the drift, watch it rise
Catch your breath, lock your eyes
Here it comes, rolling slow
Feel the heat, let it go
Chorus
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Chest to chest in the amber light
We don't speak, but we move just right
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Verse 2
Damp cotton sticking to your shoulder blade
Shaker running steady through the circle made
Palm on my wrist, cooling down the skin
Nobody asking where the groove begins
Dust kicked soft around our open toes
Every little corner of the yard we know
Pre-Chorus
Watch the drift, watch it rise
Catch your breath, lock your eyes
Here it comes, rolling slow
Feel the heat, let it go
Chorus
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Chest to chest in the amber light
We don't speak, but we move just right
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Bridge
No talk, just the low drum hum
Wait till the morning comes
No talk, just the ash and spark
Two silhouettes in the dark
Chorus
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Chest to chest in the amber light
We don't speak, but we move just right
Smoke signals in the low warm night
