Gold-Dust Loom

[Verse 1]
The moon pulls a single white thread through the Diepkloof sky,
Your message just a green pulse, a knot I won't untie.
Hear the sub-bass rumble, a promise in the floor,
We're mending Friday's frayed edge behind a red-painted door.

[Pre-Chorus]
One shaker starts the pattern...
Then two, then four, then more.
The whole room starts to breathe now...
On the Gold-Dust Loom floor.

[Chorus]
So we sway, side to side, yeah.
Let the log-drum decide, yeah.
Stitch the night, slow and low,
Now the whole kasi glows.

[Verse 2]
Your laugh unravels silver in the sweat-sheen of the air,
No Motown melody could ever quite compare.
See the ancestors smiling in the dust that we kick high,
A living, breathing tapestry beneath a buzzing light.

[Pre-Chorus]
One shaker starts the pattern...
Then two, then four, then more.
The whole room starts to breathe now...
On the Gold-Dust Loom floor.

[Chorus]
So we sway, side to side, yeah.
Let the log-drum decide, yeah.
Stitch the night, slow and low,
Now the whole kasi glows.

[Bridge]
For a moment, we're all woven,
Every colour, every thread.
Nothing's broken, all is golden,
Let the feeling spread.

[Outro]
The log-drum decides...
Side to side...
