Heavy in the chest, golden in the light (Version 2) lyrics
Verse 1
Red dust rising where your bare feet turn
Log drum heavy, let the low kick burn
Sunset settling on the rusted tin
Cool air coming where the heat has been
Your fingers resting on my open wrist
Nothing in the shadows that the body missed
Pre-Chorus
Feel it catching on the floor
One step closer than before
Can you feel the circle close
Where the rhythm goes, it goes
Chorus
Wildfire in the night
Heavy in the chest, golden in the light
Wildfire in the night
Step into the groove, hold the circle tight
Verse 2
Amber glass sweating in the evening shade
Every heavy trouble of the daylight fade
Heels make circles in the hard-packed clay
Bassline washing all the talk away
Ribcage leaning where the kick drum falls
Music making windows out of brick and walls
Pre-Chorus
Feel it catching on the floor
One step closer than before
Can you feel the circle close
Where the rhythm goes, it goes
Chorus
Wildfire in the night
Heavy in the chest, golden in the light
Wildfire in the night
Step into the groove, hold the circle tight
Bridge
Sky turns charcoal, then the dark sets in
Nothing between us but the heat and skin
No words spoken, no words to explain
Fire in the dust like a sudden rain
Chorus
Wildfire in the night
Heavy in the chest, golden in the light
Wildfire in the night
Step into the groove, hold the circle tight
