[Instrumental Intro — 8 bars] [Warm melodic bass ostinato and low steady frame-drum pulse] [A brief wooden flute motif appears in the distance] [Reverberant electric guitar answers and gradually absorbs the motif] [No vocals, no humming, no chants] [Verse 1 — restrained male lead] The city kept me wide awake Under wires and window rain Every day took something small Till I could not feel it fall [Short Instrumental Response] [Guitar bends around the final phrase] [Chorus — open, melodic] Dust knows my name Wind knows my face Every mile is taking me Back to my place Dust knows my name Sky knows the way I was never made to disappear Inside the grey [Instrumental Drift — 8 bars] [Bass and circular drum pulse continue] [Guitar leaves long tape-delay trails] [Verse 2 — more forward motion] Red earth rising through the glass City towers fading fast In my blood, a distant beat Moving with the turning wheels [Chorus] Dust knows my name Wind knows my face Every mile is taking me Back to my place Dust knows my name Sky knows the way I was never made to disappear Inside the grey [Psychedelic Instrumental — 16 bars] [The short wooden flute motif returns once] [Phaser guitar answers it, then transforms it into a flowing psychedelic melody] [Deep spring reverb and tape-delay echoes] [Melodic bass countermelody] [Frame drum blends naturally into the loose jazzy shuffle] [Bridge — sparse, inward] Was I leaving? Was I lost? Or just buried Under noise? The ground beneath me Never changed It was waiting All this time [Break — drums and bass only] Dust... Dust knows my name... [Final Chorus — brighter] Dust knows my name Wind knows my face Every mile is bringing me Back into place Dust knows my name Sky knows the way I can hear the earth beneath me Calling me home again [Instrumental Outro — 8 bars] [Main guitar motif returns with wider reverb] [Rhythm settles into a steady pulse] [Natural fade]
