Dust to Gold at Dawn

Intro

Basin water, still

Steam climbing to the eaves

Verse

Cracked cement warm under my knee

Night's dust settled on my skin

Mama's hands once knelt right here

Same light letting morning in

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rise up off the water

Feel it catch the very first ray

Chorus

Dust to gold at dawn

Dust to gold at dawn

Washing off the dark now

Dust to gold at dawn

Verse

Courtyard gate still swinging slow

Drum still living in my chest

Every grandmother who danced this floor

Breathing through my rest

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rise up off the water

Feel it catch the very first ray

Chorus

Dust to gold at dawn

Dust to gold at dawn

Washing off the dark now

Dust to gold at dawn

Bridge

Not ash, it's ember

Not tired, it's still awake

Every hand that touched this basin

Turning night to gold, for my sake

Outro

Dust to gold at dawn

Warm now on my skin

Dust to gold at dawn
