Ash & Amber Feet (versie 2)

Intro

Bare feet find the ground

Ash still warm from the fire

Verse

Coals gone soft where the circle stood

Smoke thread rising past the water tower

Dust turns amber under my heel

Every footprint holds an hour

Verse

Drum skin humming through the concrete

Streetlight amber on the shebeen wall

Grandmother's fire, my feet remember

I walk it slow, then I let it fall

Pre-Chorus

Feel the heat move through my ankles

Feel it rise up through my chest

Ash to amber, amber to morning

Every step is a kind of rest

Chorus

Ash and amber feet

Ash and amber feet

Dancing where they danced

Ash and amber feet

Verse

Streetlamp flicker, embers cooling

Bassline low where the taxi idles

Toes in dust that used to be fire

My body knows the mile

Pre-Chorus

Feel the heat move through my ankles

Feel it rise up through my chest

Ash to amber, amber to morning

Every step is a kind of rest

Chorus

Ash and amber feet

Ash and amber feet

Dancing where they danced

Ash and amber feet

Bridge

Not gone, just cooler

Not gone, just under my skin

The fire circle widens

Every dancer let back in

Chorus

Ash and amber feet

Ash and amber feet

Dancing where they danced

Ash and amber feet

Outro

Ash and amber feet

Still warm

Still walking home
