Gold Hour Over Soweto (Version 2) lyrics
Verse
Coal smoke curls off the tin
Amber catching on my skin
Zinc fence warm where my palm lands
Dust rising soft from dancing feet
Brick walls blushing, wide awake
Streetlights dimming, day breaks
Spaza shutters rolling up
Gold spills into every cup
Pre-Chorus
Light finds the marks we made
Every step, every trade
Body holding what's been passed
Morning came to make it last
Chorus
Gold hour over Soweto
Gold hour over Soweto
Every window, every echo
Gold hour over Soweto
Verse
Washing lines stitched with fire
Sheets like flags on every wire
Bicycle spokes throwing light
Kids outrun the fading night
Church bell humming through the haze
My chest keeps time, my chest obeys
This street remembers how to glow
It's in my blood, it's in my bones
Pre-Chorus
Light finds the marks we made
Every step, every trade
Body holding what's been passed
Morning came to make it last
Chorus
Gold hour over Soweto
Gold hour over Soweto
Every window, every echo
Gold hour over Soweto
Bridge
My mother swept this yard at five
Same broom, same song, still alive
I move the way her shoulders moved
Same sun she rose to, proved
I am the dust and I'm the shine
Every dawn is doubly mine
The road still hums where she once walked
Her silence sings through everything I've got
Chorus
Gold hour over Soweto
Gold hour over Soweto
Every window, every echo
Gold hour over Soweto
