Just Like Dust

I've been honest I've been kind
I've been waiting all my life
But so sadly I so badly have to go
I've been patient I've been true
I've held my breath 'til I turned blue
Now baby do not hate me when I go

You're lovely you're sublime
Poor cupid weeps when you walk by
For we will never know you better than the dark
What keeps me walking down this road
It ain't courage it ain't hope
But a cancer dancing faster through my heart
Now I am tired I am weak
My eyes dance madly when I sleep
I beg the wind for it to speak as it follows you
But it just spirals in a rage
Like jealous arms around your legs
As they swing farther down the lane that I look to

There ain't nothing I can say
There is no voice that explain
How all the songs I ever sang felt just like dust
And everything else inside my mouth
Whispered your name as it fell out
Barely breathing it ain't leaving but I must
Forget this road this tired march
A dying dog begins to bark
You will not hear it as my spirit starts to roar
And I float farther down the lane
Into the dark and faraway
I will not stay another stray scratching your door

Cause I've been honest I've been kind
I've been waiting all my life
But so sadly I so badly have to go
I've been patient I've been true
I've held my breath 'til I turned blue
Now baby do not hate me when I go
