Dust In The Wind
July 9, 2016 By Leave a Comment
“I close my eyes only for a moment, and the moment’s gone
All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
Now, don’t hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, and all your money won’t another minute buy”

Last time he was home he held her on his knees

Jamaica, say you will.
Help me find a way to fill these lifeless sails.
And stay until my ships can find the sea.
Jamaica was a sweet young one, I loved her true.
She was a comfort and a mercy through and through.
Hiding from this world together, next thing I knew,
we had brought her things down to the bay
– what could I do?
Jamaica, say you will.
Help me find a way to fill these sails.
And we will sail until our waters have run dry”

“When lonely days turn to lonely nights,
you take a trip to the city lights

You take the long way home.
And when you’re up on the stage, it’s so unbelievable,
Oh unforgettable, how they adore you,
But then your wife seems to think you’re losing your sanity,
Oh, calamity, is there no way out?
Does it feel that your life’s become a catastrophe?
Oh, it has to be for you to grow , boy.
When you look through the years and see what you could
have been oh, what you might have been,
If you’d had more time.
So, when the day comes to settle down,
Who’s to blame if you’re not around?
You took the long way home”
