lyrics

Dust to Dust
Dave Gunning/ Jamie Robinson

They say that the wicked don't rest
Not in this world or the next
She parks behind a line of long black of limousines
She had to see it for herself

He used to say that she was pretty
With her mother's golden hair
And then one night he crossed a thousand lines
With the breath of homemade . wine lying heavy in the air

There's no use denying, trying to pretend
The long road to forgiving doesn't ever end
There's no easy way to learn to let it go
Back to where it was
Like dust to dust

That door won't close and that light won't dim
It's a floodgate wide open with the waves crashing in
Frozen like the wheels of this broken down car
It's a constant reminder of a hand me down scar
And it goes on.

Nobody understands it
Nobody's ever known
They just walked away leave her praying
In the shade of his stone

There's no use denying, trying to pretend
The long road to forgiving doesn't ever end
There's no easy way to learn to let it go
Back to where it was
Like dust to dust
