Coal Dust

Missing the place I thought
Had sucked away my life
It's where I was raised and caged
It where I spent my time
I thought I escaped was saved
I found a better part of the sky
Never wanted to see it again
But now I've changed my mind

I was just a kid
Least it made some sense

I was never coming back
I said so long
Now I'll have a heart attack
If I don't go home
Guess I'll stroll into town
And wipe off the old rust
Have to see you around
Where the sun meets the coal dust

There's a place for my old guitar
Oil spill in the wrecked garage
Dust settles and it's never enough
Force of habit tends to mess me up
Caught up still on the fantasy, the whole of me
Parked up still with a magazine, casually

I was just a kid
Least it made some sense

I was never coming back
I said so long
Now I'll have a heart attack
If I don't go home
Guess I'll stroll into town
And wipe off the old rust
Have to see you around
Where the sun meets the coal dust
I was never coming back
I said so long
Now I'll have a heart attack
If I don't go home
Guess I'll stroll into town
And wipe off the old rust
Have to see you around
When the sun meets the coal dust
