Gold Dust Riddim (वर्ज़न 2)

Intro

Speaker cone shivers, dust lifts off the horn

Shutter slats slice the afternoon gold

Verse

Floorboards worn smooth by a hundred heels

Sweat catches sunlight on my collarbone

Bassline lives in the wood beneath us

Older feet still walk me home

Pre-Chorus

Feel it move up through my ankles

Feel it settle in my chest

Every grain of light's a heartbeat

Nobody here needs rest

Chorus

Gold dust riddim, moving through me

Gold dust riddim, in my skin

Floor keeps time, keeps time, keeps time

Gold dust riddim, let it in

Verse

Brass horn cracking through the tin roof

Copper light on every open hand

Grandmother's laughter in the rattle

Written soft into the sand

Pre-Chorus

Feel it move up through my ankles

Feel it settle in my chest

Every grain of light's a heartbeat

Nobody here needs rest

Chorus

Gold dust riddim, moving through me

Gold dust riddim, in my skin

Floor keeps time, keeps time, keeps time

Gold dust riddim, let it in

Bridge

Not the song, it's the shimmer after

Not the beat, it's the breath between

Dust don't fall, it just keeps rising

Gold on everything I've seen

Outro

Gold dust settles soft on my shoulders

Floor still humming, low and slow

Riddim stays after the horn goes quiet
