We sway slow in the firelit horizon (Version 2) lyrics
Verse 1
Red dust rising off the heel of your shoe
Sky turning copper as the long shadows move
Low hum humming in the frame of the wood
Nobody speaking where the rhythm is good
Pre-Chorus
Lean your weight on the count of four
Leave the day on this open floor
Feel the cooling in the red dirt air
Take my shoulder, we almost there
Chorus
We sway slow in the firelit horizon
Deep drum rolls and the cool wind rising
Two steps left and the world goes quiet
We sway slow in the firelit horizon
Verse 2
Salt on the collar and a palm on your side
Orange fades heavy to a dark rolling tide
Bass shaking gentle where our bare arches press
Nothing to whisper and nothing to guess
Pre-Chorus
Lean your weight on the count of four
Leave the day on this open floor
Feel the cooling in the red dirt air
Take my shoulder, we almost there
Chorus
We sway slow in the firelit horizon
Deep drum rolls and the cool wind rising
Two steps left and the world goes quiet
We sway slow in the firelit horizon
Bridge
Ground stays warm when the sun goes down
Only our breathing across this ground
No rush running through the bones tonight
Carried all the way by the fading light
Chorus
We sway slow in the firelit horizon
Deep drum rolls and the cool wind rising
Two steps left and the world goes quiet
We sway slow in the firelit horizon
