Dawn Ritual (versie 2)

Intro

Rooftop, grey light

Water in the drum

Verse

Steam rising off the tanks

Taxi horns still half asleep

Cold water on my collarbone

Waking up what my body keeps

Pre-Chorus

Something older than my skin

Moves when the tap runs clear

Breath goes white in the morning air

Ancestors drinking near

Chorus

Water wakes the bones

Water wakes the bones

City holds its breath

Water wakes the bones

Verse

Washing line ghosts in the wind

Pigeons on the wire, humming low

Every drop that hits the floor

Remembers where to go

Chorus

Water wakes the bones

Water wakes the bones

City holds its breath

Water wakes the bones

Bridge

I pour, they rise

I rinse, they stay

Skin is the river

Dawn is the way

Outro

Water wakes the bones

Steam on the light

Water wakes the bones

Rooftop, first light
