Dust Over Alexandra (버전 2)

Verse

Red road cracking under my heel

Taxi horns counting the hour

Tin roof holding yesterday's heat

Dust lifting soft like flour

Corner boys watching the sun break

Gold on the fence, gold on the wire

Every step I take wakes the ground up

Old feet buried in fire

Pre-Chorus

Feel it climb past my ankle bone

Feel the ground start to hum

Every footprint left before mine

Rising up when the bass drum comes

Chorus

Dust over Alexandra

Rising with the sun

Dust over Alexandra

We are not the only ones

Dust over Alexandra

Verse

Hostel wall still warm from Sunday

Grandfather's boots wore this same line

Bare feet find the groove he left here

Gold dust catching morning light

Women selling oranges by the tracks

Sweep the yard before the beat starts

Every broom stroke stirs a memory

Settling soft in my chest

Pre-Chorus

Feel it climb past my ankle bone

Feel the ground start to hum

Every footprint left before mine

Rising up when the bass drum comes

Chorus

Dust over Alexandra

Rising with the sun

Dust over Alexandra

We are not the only ones

Dust over Alexandra

Bridge

I breathe it in, let it settle

On my tongue, on my collar, my skin

This is how they stay close to me

Rising up when the drum lets them in

Not behind me, not gone, just under

Every grain holding where we've been

Chorus

Dust over Alexandra

Rising with the sun

Dust over Alexandra

We are not the only ones

Dust over Alexandra
