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