Dust lyrics

If you wanna get to heaven let me tell you how
Keep your hand on the gospel plow
Hold on (3x's)
Mary had a golden chain
Every link spelled Jesus' name
Hold on (3x's)
Mary had a golden chain
Hold on
If you wanna get to heaven let me tell you how
Keep your hand on the gospel plow

Waking up without you now I'm on my own
Coming down the sky burns into my soul

Born to work under the way your velvet lies
Smoke unfolding hazy in the sky
Arise

I've been where you never been
I've seen what you've never seen
I've dreamed what you've never dreamed
I've left what you'd never leave
But now I can only find one way
Take me higher

Rays of shattered light to bleed my eyes
The spark has burned away until I'm blind
Inside

It's a broken morning outside
Go easy on my mind
cos you're this dream I'm hanging' on
And I'm trying' to meet the dawn

And the longest way I traveled
From the darkness to the light
Lord it's been a million miles
In these prisons I can't abide

I'm half way here, I'm half way there (repeat)
All along i've been the traveler, yeah

Forever outta time
Forever just unwinds

It's taken everything
Everything I got and it's hung me on the line
Water rising up over me
And I think I'm gonna die
Think I'm gonna die

I told a lie
That's what I said
I told the one you know I'll always keep
Whose God is mine (3x's)
Whose God is
The one with the witness

Shine your lonely light on me
I'll be there to hold the mirror
I can take you down with me

Winter's setting in again

And it feels

Like the end is near

Senseless sense and I'm alone

Watching' the seconds
Passing' by

Come January I swear this world

Won't be the one

That we once lived on

Took an oath

For a promise sworn and broken

All that's gone

Away

When Monday morning you can't wake up

Still dreaming' of

What could've been

Take a minute just to breathe
Take a minute 'till I'm wide awake
And I'm searching' once again
And the sun has left the sky

And you're on my mind
And you're on my mind

Take a second to believe
Just a second you won't have to wait
Don't ya turn your back on me
I couldn't look into your eyes

And I don't know why
And I don't know why

But I'll try again on another day

All these dying days
I walk the ghost town
Used to be my city
I seen a holy man
Seen him crying with the Mother Mary
All these dying days

Yes it's too late
This life isn't mine
Lord hear me pray
Can you ease my mind
Now they're gone forever
Jesus I done gone over
Sleeping alone you
Stay on your side
If I couldn't lie
Like all of a thousand other times

Her ghost hides
In my mind
In the night
In a way she's haunting me
I'm wanting her still
Thru rose colored skies
Or blue, blue moonlight
There's miracles on high
She's walking by

When I look at you i've got a 2nd chance
Really need to have you now
One by one they fall it always breaks me down

The quiet
Cuts me thru
The candle burnt
The knife has turned
The pain withers

Bite the thorn that pierce the skin
Come back down to earth again
The cold is creeping deep inside
You disconnect the telephone line

Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Get away
Gotta get away
'fore the Lord gonna make me stay

All that I know
Shoulda been
Coulda been
Mine

I killed the last way out of this
Persuaded by a deceitful kiss

That said you better stay

She wears a halo of ashes
Specter on the wind
Waits on me so patiently
I no longer can pretend

Sky lies a thousand mile below
Stars shine and the moon is clear
With nothing I can only warn
Won't you be left near here

I been a long long time away
With one foot in the grave
Glorified in the dying of the sun

My angel pulls me closer
As my poison she crawls thru
