Dust on Your Ankles lyrics
Verse 1
Bare feet scuffing where the pavers end
Red dirt rising where steps begin
Low drum hums in the chest and the bone
Two shadows rocking on dry grey stone
Your heel marks time on the beaten ground
We make a circle without a sound
Pre-Chorus
Feel the bass drop low
Feel the shaker start
Where does the floor end
Where is your heart
Chorus
Dust on your ankles, slow on the floor
We do not ask for a word anymore
Dust on your ankles, line in the clay
Let the rhythm carry the night away
Verse 2
One amber bulb on the wooden beam
Sweat on your neck in a quiet seam
You shift your weight to the steady count
Nothing to measure, no lost amount
The speaker rattles against the tin
Cool air moving across your skin
Pre-Chorus
Feel the bass drop low
Feel the shaker start
Where does the floor end
Where is your heart
Chorus
Dust on your ankles, slow on the floor
We do not ask for a word anymore
Dust on your ankles, line in the clay
Let the rhythm carry the night away
Bridge
Sun brings the bucket to wash off the grey
Wash all the steps that we took away
Stay in the shadow, stay in the track
Once the foot lands, it does not look back
Chorus
Dust on your ankles, slow on the floor
We do not ask for a word anymore
Dust on your ankles, line in the clay
Let the rhythm carry the night away
