Dust and Magic

I’ve been loving you for awhile now, turned your colors in the light

Amber glass beside the ocean, the sand that lightning strikes

And I watch you by the water, throw your voice into the wind

But ain’t no comfort in an echo, that don’t come back again

And babe I’ve been a lot of things, a hero and a fool

But none of them compare to being someone next to you

And your eyes are tired and hungry, waiting on a sunny day

Looking out the cloudy window, at the never ending rain

But i’ve seen you light on fire, and I know you will again

It’s just the way your heart is wired, just the way you’ve always been

And babe I’ve been a lot of things, I’m proud of just a few

But none of them compare to being someone next to you

This house is rust and wreckage, holding on by just a hope

But I believe in dust and magic, and every word you ever wrote

All the reasons that you wake up, all the reasons that you dream

All the beautiful conditions of a man up in flame

And babe i’ve been a lot of things, and most of them were true

But none of them compare to being someone next to you
