Dust

Bic Runga


Blades of grass 
That shiver as I pass 
The world's asleep but I'm awake 
I'm walking home home again 
Morning stars 
Left my shoes back at the bar 
Didn't know my house was quite so far, 
So far from anywhere 

Strange how the ground 
Seems up-side down 
And morning - it starts without me 
Did I let you down? 
Should I come around? 
Would that make things better baby? 

You and I 
We get along just fine 
But oh, we both want to be right 
It's just not possible 

Change your mind 
Or maybe I'll change mine 
But either way we won't arrive 
At something plausible 

I'll see you 'round 
When you're in town 
And you can pretend to hate me 
All trace of love 
Has turned to dust 
Which I've been collecting lately.
