Verse 1
Garlands hanging low from the cedar beam
Pouring sweet mint through a silver stream
You kick your woven shoes across the tile
Catching my pulse with an easy smile
Two crushed cloves in the palm of your hand
Pulling me closer than I ever planned
Pre-Chorus
How did one step pull me into your stride?
Where does the light go when the knots untie?
Chorus
Covered in marigold dust
Spinning in the circle where the brass drums beat
Losing my balance, but I call it trust
Dancing in the golden heat
Caught in your marigold dust
Verse 2
Cracked dried citrus on the terracotta plate
Lanterns coming on beside the garden gate
You brush the yellow pollen off your collarbone
Suddenly I never want to walk alone
Thumb on my wrist, counting out the time
Tasting of river water, salt and lime
Pre-Chorus
How did one step pull me into your stride?
Where does the light go when the knots untie?
Chorus
Covered in marigold dust
Spinning in the circle where the brass drums beat
Losing my balance, but I call it trust
Dancing in the golden heat
Caught in your marigold dust
Bridge
I was steady, I was cool as stone
Guarding my quiet like an empty home
Then you took my fingers and the wall gave in
Nothing but fever on my sunburnt skin
Chorus
Covered in marigold dust
Spinning in the circle where the brass drums beat
Losing my balance, but I call it trust
Dancing in the golden heat
Caught in your marigold dust
