Dusty Tears

from The Prairie by Tom Brosseau

/

lyrics

What you feel, you feel alone
The sun heats up a stone
Adrift on a river, sealed in a drum
Waiting for the fall to come

The train of a bird dragging the land
I wish I could touch my grandmother's hand
Turn off the lights and turn them back on
And in that time it all will be gone

A little dance with a broom
I pretend you're with me, here in the room
The invisible particles rise
I've got dust tears in my eyes
