C
You woke and I was your witness
F7M/C
You spoke and that's how it came to be
C
And the dust was descending
F7M/C
It gathered patiently
C
on the chairs and tables
F7M/C
the rooftops overhead
C
The things we should have done
F7M/C
The things we should have said
Am
The dust on surrender
G6
just gathers patiently
F7M/C
and I was your witness
G6
and that's how it came to be
C
F7M/C
C
There goes the distance between us
F7M/C
it grows but we don't say a thing
C
say "how was your breakfast?
F7M/C
did it taste like anything?"
C
and my senses have left me
F7M/C
left me to myself
C
and I take my rest upon
F7M/C
way up on the highest shelf
Am
The dust on surrender
G6
just gathers patiently
F7M/C
and I was your witness
G6
and that's how it came to be
