Dust To Dust

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

It's not your eyes

It's not what you say

It's not your laughter that gives you away

You're just lonely

You've been lonely, too long

All your actin'

Your thin disguise

All your perfectly delivered lies

They don't fool me

You've been lonely, too long

Let me in the wall, you've built around

And we can light a match and burn it down

Let me hold your hand and dance 'round and 'round the flame

In front of us

Dust to

You've held your head up

You've fought the fight

You bear the scars

You've done your time

Listen to me-

You've been lonely, too long

Let me in the wall, you've built around

And we can light a match and burn them down

And let me hold your hand and dance 'round and 'round the flames

In front of us

Dust to dust

You're like a mirror, reflecting me

Takes one to know one, so take it from me

You've been lonely

You've been lonely, too long

We've been lonely

We've been lonely, too long
