Dawn Over Alexandra

Intro

Tin roofs catching fire

Steam rising off my skin

Verse

Last train sleeping on the tracks

Feet still moving, spine still cracked

Washing lines catch the first gold thread

Grandmother's rhythm in my head

Chorus

Dawn over Alexandra

Gold on the tin, gold on my skin

Dawn over Alexandra

The night lets go, the light comes in

Verse

Dust settles soft on tired ground

Bassline fading, heartbeat found

Old men waking, kettles hiss

Ancestors folded in the mist

Pre-Chorus

Something rising through my chest

Feet won't stop, they know the rest

Sun climbs slow behind the wire

Bodies bright like we're on fire

Chorus

Dawn over Alexandra

Gold on the tin, gold on my skin

Dawn over Alexandra

The night lets go, the light comes in

Bridge

Every roof a drum, every street a hymn

Grandfather's shadow walking with the wind

I carry them here, I carry them in

Dawn over Alexandra, the light comes in

Chorus

Dawn over Alexandra

Gold on the tin, gold on my skin

Dawn over Alexandra

The night lets go, the light comes in

Outro

Gold on the tin

The light comes in

The light comes in
