Dust of a Thousand Memories

Clock is ticking slowly
Anything you want to say?
Still sitting in the same place
We've been here the whole damn day

Dust of a thousand memories
Piled high upon our shelves
You've forgotten how to think straight
And I just look out for myself

Moonlight can't get through
That cracked back windowpane
Stayed here far too long
And now it's starting to rain

All we have to do is get up and move
But there's nowhere left to go
And we've nothing more to prove

Can't keep out the night air
Dust falls gently to the floor
Got no reason to stay here, so why don't I walk through that door?

The river's calling me down
To the water dark and cold
Wish I'd never left home
To search for silver and gold

All we have to do is get up and move
But there's nowhere left to go
And we've nothing more to prove

While the clock counts down our time
We lose sight of the floor
We know that we should clean it up
But where there's dust we'll always find more

Moonlight still can't get through
The cracked back windowpane
Stayed here far too long, and
The moon is on the wane

All we have to do is get up and move
But there's nowhere left to go
And we've nothing more to prove

All we have to do is get up and move
But there's nowhere left to go
And we've nothing more to prove
