[Verse 1] Old shoes by the back door Same chair with the paint worn through Neighbors talkin' slow over fences I keep thinkin' 'bout you
[Chorus] Under this backyard moonlight You come back every time In the smoke and the laughter You’re the echo in my mind Under this backyard moonlight Where the small hours slip away If you ever wanna find me I’ll be waitin’ in the sway (oh yeah)
[Verse 2] Dog’s bark in the next yard Kids’ chalk on the broken stones I trace our names in the dust there Then the breeze carries it home
[Chorus] Under this backyard moonlight You come back every time In the smoke and the laughter You’re the echo in my mind Under this backyard moonlight Where the small hours slip away If you ever wanna find me I’ll be waitin’ in the sway (in the sway)
Styl muzyki
Laid-back roots reggae groove in a mid-tempo sway; warm off-beat skank guitar, deep rounded bass, and soft rimshot snare. Male vocals, relaxed but soulful, with stacked harmonies in the hook. Subtle organ bubbles and airy percussion fill the gaps; chorus lifts with extra backing vocals and a slightly brighter guitar tone., reggae
