Arizona Dust

(album: The Things We Left Behind - 2009)

Oh darling
That's not the way it was planned
I know I kept you waiting
I screwed up my timing again

You told me the fears that were in your head
Sitting there cross-legged on my bed
Don't you stay away long that's what you said

So quickly
Summer ran right into spring
I see your face lying next to me
Just on the edge of my dreams

So tired I can't explain
I lost something precious that was in my hand
Let it all slip away slow like grains of sand

If you're through with me
I guess I'll see
When I'm standing at your door
I finally got my balance back
To where I was before
And I've never been so lonely
So I'm singing a Skydiggers' song
As I'm eating Arizona dust
And wishing I was home

It's too hard to look back
When you don't like what you see
Pictures of all the people I love
I let them down so casually

And you told me all the fears that were in your head
Sitting there cross-legged on my bed
Don't you stay away long that's what you said

If you're through with me
I guess I'll see
When I'm standing at your door
I finally got my balance back
To where I was before
And I've never been so lonely
So I'm singing a Skydiggers' song
As I'm eating Arizona dust
And wishing I was home

As I'm eating Arizona dust
And wishing I was home
As I'm eating Arizona dust
And wishing I was home
