Dawn Over Alexandra lyrics
Intro
Tin roofs catching fire
Steam rising off my skin
Verse
Last train sleeping on the tracks
Feet still moving, spine still cracked
Washing lines catch the first gold thread
Grandmother's rhythm in my head
Chorus
Dawn over Alexandra
Gold on the tin, gold on my skin
Dawn over Alexandra
The night lets go, the light comes in
Verse
Dust settles soft on tired ground
Bassline fading, heartbeat found
Old men waking, kettles hiss
Ancestors folded in the mist
Pre-Chorus
Something rising through my chest
Feet won't stop, they know the rest
Sun climbs slow behind the wire
Bodies bright like we're on fire
Chorus
Dawn over Alexandra
Gold on the tin, gold on my skin
Dawn over Alexandra
The night lets go, the light comes in
Bridge
Every roof a drum, every street a hymn
Grandfather's shadow walking with the wind
I carry them here, I carry them in
Dawn over Alexandra, the light comes in
Chorus
Dawn over Alexandra
Gold on the tin, gold on my skin
Dawn over Alexandra
The night lets go, the light comes in
Outro
Gold on the tin
The light comes in
The light comes in
