Dust Lyrics

I was cleaning plates

As the city scape crumbled down

Hearing trenchant voices down the hall

I'm always at their beck and call

Sweeping up their sweep stake tickets as they hit ground

I failed to recollect your name

I was caught up in my fluorescent oblivion

There's no time to hold your hand

Cause you were shy and I was sad

Sick of empty, aimless words

I just want to remember yours

I was in the crosshairs

Of an urban masterplan

As buildings rose I thought of you

But this cafe's been stuck here for years

And years, I've stammered in the dark

Your wide blue eyes have traveled

But mine are squinted shut against the dust

When the store bell rang

The steps that you left were sacred ground

I stood silently hoping that you might turn around

Turn around

Turn around

I was cleaning plates

As the city scape crumbled down

As buildings rose I thought of you

But this cafe's been stuck here for years
