Lyrics
[Verse]
The wind it howls like a hungry ghost
Through broken streets where the lost get close
I sit and count the cracks in the floor
Each one a path I won’t walk no more
[Chorus]
Dust and shadows
They call my name
The fire’s out
But I feel the flame
Whisper low
Whisper slow
Take me away
Dust and shadows
All that stay
[Verse 2]
My voice it croaks like a rusted hinge
Life’s a match that won't relight again
The moon’s a liar
A pale-eyed cheat
Promising gold but giving defeat
[Prechorus]
Fingers tremble
Strings will weep
Truths unravel
Nothing’s deep
[Chorus]
Dust and shadows
They call my name
The fire’s out
But I feel the flame
Whisper low
Whisper slow
Take me away
Dust and shadows
All that stay
[Bridge]
A gypsy chord and a bottle of pain
Dreams dissolve in the acid rain
A life unwound
Threadbare and torn
Where every night feels twice as worn
