Saltwater & Dust

[Extended Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1 – Male]
Salt on the breeze, dust on my shoes
I followed the shoreline where the sky turns blue
The market is waking, the colours unfold
A drum in the distance is louder than gold

[Verse 2 – Female]
Bare feet are tracing a line in the sand
A song passes softly from hand into hand
The sea keeps time with the beat on the ground
And all of the coast starts to answer the sound

[Pre-Chorus – Together]
From the red earth to the blue
Every road is leading through

[Chorus – Together]
Saltwater and dust, we come alive
Feet on the earth, with the sea at our side
Saltwater and dust, the whole shore moves
We carry the rhythm wherever we choose

[Post-Chorus – Chant]
Hey-ya, hey-ya, the shoreline sings
Hey-ya, hey-ya, the morning begins

[Instrumental Groove]

[Verse 3 – Female]
The sun climbs higher, the dancing stays
A hundred new voices are joining the waves
No need for a stage, no need for a name
Just the tide and the people and one steady flame

[Pre-Chorus – Together]
From the red earth to the blue
Every road is leading through

[Chorus – Together]
Saltwater and dust, we come alive
Feet on the earth, with the sea at our side
Saltwater and dust, the whole shore moves
We carry the rhythm wherever we choose

[Breakdown – Male and Female]
(Male) Hear the water
(Female) Feel the ground
(Together) Let the rhythm travel round

[Final Chorus – Together]
Saltwater and dust, we come alive
Feet on the earth, with the sea at our side
Saltwater and dust, the whole shore moves
We carry the rhythm wherever we choose
