Verse 1
Red cherry glowing by the brickyard wall
Bass in the iron makes the gravel fall
You take a pull and you let it rise
Blue coil drifting between your eyes
No word spoken in the open yard
Dust lifting up where our heels hit hard
Pre-Chorus
You turn your shoulder, you take your cue
Is it the drum, or is it you?
The air is heavy, the tempo wide
Nowhere left for the pulse to hide
Chorus
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Moving together till the dark turns white
Your chest to my chest, slow and tight
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Verse 2
Sweat on your collarbone catching the glow
Sub-bass rolling from the room below
You nod your head once and step in close
Body saying what the spirit knows
Hand on my wrist where the vein beats time
Your breath resting on the edge of mine
Pre-Chorus
You turn your shoulder, you take your cue
Is it the drum, or is it you?
The air is heavy, the tempo wide
Nowhere left for the pulse to hide
Chorus
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Moving together till the dark turns white
Your chest to my chest, slow and tight
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Bridge
No talk, no promises, no past
Just two bare feet on the cooling grass
The log drum speaks while the grey rings blow
We let the rest of the cold world go
Chorus
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Moving together till the dark turns white
Your chest to my chest, slow and tight
Smoke signals in the low warm night
