Move With the Dark

Intro

Mm-hmm

Mm-hmm

Night fall soft

Bass roll low

Verse 1

River running dark through the canefield road

Barefoot girl got a rhythm in her bones

Though she walk through the bamboo and the blackened stone

Every heartbeat carry secrets of its own

Her shadow growing long against the fading sun

She know the moon is patient when the day is done

No lantern in her pocket, no prayers upon her tongue

Just a whisper in the wind that tells her come along

Pre-Chorus

Don't you stop

Don't you break

Feel the current when it takes

Call the thunder by its name

Dance the fire, fan the flame

Chorus

Move with the dark, sister, move through the sound

Feel the low drums kissing all the ground

Rolling like the river when the rains come down

Let the spirits spin you till they spin you 'round

Hey now

Hear the bassline grow

Hey now

Let the rhythm flow

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Steady through the low

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 2

She pass the old church where the steeple lean

Past the mango tree with the silver sheen

Got a thread of starlight weaving through her jeans

Got a laugh that cuts through every wandering dream

Grandma taught her how the nighttime talk

Every crooked path is just a different walk

She say close your eyes and let the darkness knock

Then turn the blackest hour into a working clock

Pre-Chorus

Don't you stop

Don't you break

Feel the current when it takes

Call the thunder by its name

Dance the fire, fan the flame

Chorus

Move with the dark, sister, move through the sound

Feel the low drums kissing all the ground

Rolling like the river when the rains come down

Let the spirits spin you till they spin you 'round

Hey now

Hear the bassline grow

Hey now

Let the rhythm flow

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Steady through the low

Oh-oh-oh

Bridge

Deep down

Deep down

Where the echoes hush

Deep down

Deep down

Feel the river push

Hold it steady

Hold it slow

Let the moment take you where the wild things go

Verse 3

Dawn come creeping up the eastern line

But the girl still moving to a different time

She trade the daylight for a borrowed shine

Got a crown of fire lighting up her spine

No map to follow, no gate to find

Just the rhythm living in her blood and mind

When the sun come rising she will fade behind

But every night she walking with the moon aligned

Chorus

Move with the dark, sister, move through the sound

Feel the low drums kissing all the ground

Rolling like the river when the rains come down

Let the spirits spin you till they spin you 'round

Hey now

Hear the bassline grow

Hey now

Let the rhythm flow

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Move it

Move it slow

Oh-oh-oh

Outro

Ah-yah

Ah-yah

Walk through

Ah-yah

Till the morning come

Ah-yah
