Dust to Gold at Dawn lyrics
Intro
Basin water, still
Steam climbing to the eaves
Verse
Cracked cement warm under my knee
Night's dust settled on my skin
Mama's hands once knelt right here
Same light letting morning in
Pre-Chorus
Feel it rise up off the water
Feel it catch the very first ray
Chorus
Dust to gold at dawn
Dust to gold at dawn
Washing off the dark now
Dust to gold at dawn
Verse
Courtyard gate still swinging slow
Drum still living in my chest
Every grandmother who danced this floor
Breathing through my rest
Pre-Chorus
Feel it rise up off the water
Feel it catch the very first ray
Chorus
Dust to gold at dawn
Dust to gold at dawn
Washing off the dark now
Dust to gold at dawn
Bridge
Not ash, it's ember
Not tired, it's still awake
Every hand that touched this basin
Turning night to gold, for my sake
Outro
Dust to gold at dawn
Warm now on my skin
Dust to gold at dawn
