Verse
Yellow hill behind the fence line
Sand still warm from the sun
Headframe silent on the skyline
Whistle done, shift done
Boots my father wore are buried
Somewhere under this ground
Every time my knee bends low
I feel where he was bound
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it climbing upward
Through the arch, through the knee
Something buried keeps on rising
Every step sets it free
Chorus
Dust between our bones
Dust between our bones
Every joint remembers
Dust between our bones
Verse
Bakkie speaker on the tailgate
Bassline shaking the sand
Cousins circle in the moonlight
Sweat and dust on every hand
Cage door rattles down the mineshaft
Empty now but still it hums
Grandmother's rhythm in my hipbone
Every time the low end drums
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it climbing upward
Through the arch, through the knee
Something buried keeps on rising
Every step sets it free
Chorus
Dust between our bones
Dust between our bones
Every joint remembers
Dust between our bones
Bridge
They dug for gold and left the hill
We dance until the hill dance too
Marrow deep, the sand keeps time
Their hands still moving inside our hands
Chorus
Dust between our bones
Dust between our bones
Every joint remembers
Dust between our bones
