Dust Rises Over Alexandra (Version 2) lyrics
Verse
Red path cracked beneath the taxi wheels
Alex morning, kettle steam
Bare feet find the rhythm in the gravel
Where my mother used to lean
Wire fence humming with the wind off Jukskei
Corner shop still counting change
Every step I take is someone older
Walking through me just the same
Pre-Chorus
Feel it rise up through the arches
Feel it climb into my chest
Dust remembers every dancer
Never learned to rest
Chorus
Dust rises over Alexandra
Dust rises over Alexandra
Gold in the evening air
Dust rises over Alexandra
Verse
Backyard speaker wired through the window
Bass line shaking corrugate
Aunties clapping on the concrete
Uncles keeping time and weight
Streetlight buzzing, kids still running
Shadow stretching down the lane
Same ground my grandmother was dancing
Same dust, same drum, same name
Pre-Chorus
Feel it rise up through the arches
Feel it climb into my chest
Dust remembers every dancer
Never learned to rest
Chorus
Dust rises over Alexandra
Dust rises over Alexandra
Gold in the evening air
Dust rises over Alexandra
Bridge
Not a ruin, this is temple
Every wall still holds a song
Every footstep laid the pattern
Long before I came along
Chorus
Dust rises over Alexandra
Dust rises over Alexandra
Gold in the evening air
Dust rises over Alexandra
