Turn like a lanterna in the dark 2

Verse 1

Red clay cooling under your feet

Bass drum leaning into the street

Sun sits heavy on your right side

Two steps closer, nowhere to hide

Salt on your neck, heat on the stone

We don't need a word to know where we go

Pre-Chorus

Sky goes copper, sky goes grey

Feel the weight of the day pull away

Log drum drops low in the chest

Let the movement handle the rest

Chorus

Turn like a lanterna in the dark

Warm on my shoulder, gold on your arm

Turn like a lanterna, slow and deep

Hold the rhythm that the shadows keep

Verse 2

Tin roof creaking, letting out steam

Dust kicks upward into the beam

Palm meets palm, steady and slow

Following where your collarbones go

No loud talk, just gravel and bass

Orange fading right off your face

Pre-Chorus

Sky goes copper, sky goes grey

Feel the weight of the day pull away

Log drum drops low in the chest

Let the movement handle the rest

Chorus

Turn like a lanterna in the dark

Warm on my shoulder, gold on your arm

Turn like a lanterna, slow and deep

Hold the rhythm that the shadows keep

Bridge

Kerosene smoke on a low-hanging wire

One slow breath right into the fire

Ground doesn't move if we stand still

So sway till the night takes what it will

Chorus

Turn like a lanterna in the dark

Warm on my shoulder, gold on your arm

Turn like a lanterna, slow and deep

Hold the rhythm that the shadows keep
