The Dust Burnt Red (feat. Chezelle)

An ode to love and a timeless joy
A flight away to the wilderness
The dust burnt red, the soil and all that surrounds
You feel the heat, your feet, keep dragging the ground
 
You know just where they are, my friend
You know just how I'll be
Hear the ancient tales, the wandering souls
Her cry for love, a haunting melody

From word and page, to right-through your mind's eye
The mirage, the view and an endless gaze
The circling storks, above the river so dry
Sweet smell of rain, but the cynics sigh
 
I stand on a mound to get a view of you
Can you hear my thoughts out, do you think of me still?
Will you ever turn my head again
Will I ever find my love, my peace, my joy, out here
 
You know just where they are, my friend
You know just how I'll be
Hear the ancient tales, the wandering souls
Her cry for love, a haunting melody
 
The hand-me-down, the wise, passed on from their family ties
For all that you know, loves journey was blown
Not defeated, it's no surprise
For my love is well and truly yours
