Dust to Dawnlight (Version 2)

Verse

Tin roofs catching the first grey line

Water tank drips down the courtyard spine

Night sweat cooling on my collarbone

Last beat fading but I'm not alone

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the hour turning

Warm palms on cold stone

Ash and morning burning

This body carries them home

Chorus

Dust to dawnlight, feet still moving

Dust to dawnlight, blood keeps proving

We danced the dark down to the bone

Dust to dawnlight, carry us home

Verse

Minibus horns start down the road

Steam off my shoulders, ancestral load

Bassline fading into rooster call

Shadows stretch long on the courtyard wall

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the hour turning

Warm palms on cold stone

Ash and morning burning

This body carries them home

Chorus

Dust to dawnlight, feet still moving

Dust to dawnlight, blood keeps proving

We danced the dark down to the bone

Dust to dawnlight, carry us home

Bridge

Every grandmother's shadow

Walks beside me toward the sun

Every hour we borrowed

Turns to light before it's done

Chorus

Dust to dawnlight, feet still moving

Dust to dawnlight, blood keeps proving

We danced the dark down to the bone

Dust to dawnlight, carry us home
