Verse 1
Red dust settles where your heels leave the ground
Woodsmoke curling to that heavy rolling sound
Single amber globe hanging off the wire
Skin takes the heat like an open fire
Two steps closer and you don't say a thing
Ribcage humming what the log drums bring
Pre-Chorus
Watch the drift, watch it rise
No need to speak when we close our eyes
Heavy air, ground so deep
What the body knows is what we keep
Chorus
Smoke signals in the low warm night
We move slow till the weight feels light
Step to the pulse, let the timber breathe
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Verse 2
Cold tin cup sweating on the concrete ledge
Shadows leaning right against the courtyard edge
Your collarbone dark in the drifting grey
Every little breath takes the words away
Shoulder brushing shoulder on the off-beat slide
Nowhere else to run, nowhere else to hide
Pre-Chorus
Watch the drift, watch it rise
No need to speak when we close our eyes
Heavy air, ground so deep
What the body knows is what we keep
Chorus
Smoke signals in the low warm night
We move slow till the weight feels light
Step to the pulse, let the timber breathe
Smoke signals in the low warm night
Bridge
No clock on the wall, just the bass in the floor
Feet know the road through an open door
Ash turns soft where the ember glows
Only the rhythm is what we know
Chorus
Smoke signals in the low warm night
We move slow till the weight feels light
Step to the pulse, let the timber breathe
Smoke signals in the low warm night
