Summer Dust

Under the autumn leaves

I found to my surprise

The rings we worn summers since

The flowers were still alive

They say that our own bodies

Are made of bones and dust

And how we lie beneath the maple tree

And pray that the leaves don't cover us

Ohhhhh

Our hearts were beating

Like humming birds that night

A restless wind blew them open

As the birds were taking flight

Young hearts are bright

And just as light

And blowing in the air tonight

She said I want to believe

That we can laugh

But I know that it's tough when your lost in the leaves

And I'm in no rush

But if we try to unite then we might just turn back into dust

It's only natural for us

Walking through this old town

I'm reminded

Of all the trees that we tore down

To let the sun shine in

We buried our beating hearts

Under the rocks and dirt

And now mine is filled with the fallen leaves

And if you're not here it's going to burst

Ohhhhh

Our hearts were beating

Like humming birds that night

A restless wind blew them open

As the birds were taking flight

Young hearts are bright

And just as light

And blowing in the air tonight
