Dust Rises at Dawn lyrics
Intro
Cold cement
Breath like smoke
Blanket snapping
Ancestors woke
Verse
Courtyard corner
Before the sun
Beating rugs against the wall
Until the day's begun
Grandmother's rhythm
Still in my wrist
Every strike of dust
Is a fist through the mist
Chorus
Dust rises at dawn
Dust rises at dawn
Skin remembers
What the hands move on
Dust rises at dawn
Verse
Washing line ghosts
Sheets catch the light
Hips find the pattern
Left over from the night
Cockerel calling
Speakers still low
Bare feet keeping
What the elders used to know
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel the courtyard turning
Gold before the heat
Something old is burning
Underneath my feet
Chorus
Dust rises at dawn
Dust rises at dawn
Skin remembers
What the hands move on
Dust rises at dawn
Bridge
Every beat I carry
Isn't only mine
Hands before my hands
Kept the same time
Chorus
Dust rises at dawn
Dust rises at dawn
Skin remembers
What the hands move on
Dust rises at dawn
Outro
Settle now
Gold on the ground
We rise with the dust
We rise with the sound
