Dust Between Our Bones (versione 2)

Verse

Yellow hill behind the fence line

Sand still warm from the sun

Headframe silent on the skyline

Whistle done, shift done

Boots my father wore are buried

Somewhere under this ground

Every time my knee bends low

I feel where he was bound

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing upward

Through the arch, through the knee

Something buried keeps on rising

Every step sets it free

Chorus

Dust between our bones

Dust between our bones

Every joint remembers

Dust between our bones

Verse

Bakkie speaker on the tailgate

Bassline shaking the sand

Cousins circle in the moonlight

Sweat and dust on every hand

Cage door rattles down the mineshaft

Empty now but still it hums

Grandmother's rhythm in my hipbone

Every time the low end drums

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing upward

Through the arch, through the knee

Something buried keeps on rising

Every step sets it free

Chorus

Dust between our bones

Dust between our bones

Every joint remembers

Dust between our bones

Bridge

They dug for gold and left the hill

We dance until the hill dance too

Marrow deep, the sand keeps time

Their hands still moving inside our hands

Chorus

Dust between our bones

Dust between our bones

Every joint remembers

Dust between our bones
