Dust Over Alexandra lyrics
Verse
Red road cracking under my heel
Taxi horns counting the hour
Tin roof holding yesterday's heat
Dust lifting soft like flour
Corner boys watching the sun break
Gold on the fence, gold on the wire
Every step I take wakes the ground up
Old feet buried in fire
Pre-Chorus
Feel it climb past my ankle bone
Feel the ground start to hum
Every footprint left before mine
Rising up when the bass drum comes
Chorus
Dust over Alexandra
Rising with the sun
Dust over Alexandra
We are not the only ones
Dust over Alexandra
Verse
Hostel wall still warm from Sunday
Grandfather's boots wore this same line
Bare feet find the groove he left here
Gold dust catching morning light
Women selling oranges by the tracks
Sweep the yard before the beat starts
Every broom stroke stirs a memory
Settling soft in my chest
Pre-Chorus
Feel it climb past my ankle bone
Feel the ground start to hum
Every footprint left before mine
Rising up when the bass drum comes
Chorus
Dust over Alexandra
Rising with the sun
Dust over Alexandra
We are not the only ones
Dust over Alexandra
Bridge
I breathe it in, let it settle
On my tongue, on my collar, my skin
This is how they stay close to me
Rising up when the drum lets them in
Not behind me, not gone, just under
Every grain holding where we've been
Chorus
Dust over Alexandra
Rising with the sun
Dust over Alexandra
We are not the only ones
Dust over Alexandra
