After All the Dust Settles
it wasn't a song of forever
it was just for a little while
I recognized the strumming
but not the lyrics to the song
you may not like the comments
but I've never steered you wrong
ya need a place with some elbow space
an altitude higher than this
where the breeze wafts fair
a breath of fresh air
where shadows can rest for awhile
after all this dust settles down
after all this dust settles down
it wasn't a dance of forever
it was just for a little while
you got very close, closer than most
while the tempo played to my heart
and I got caught up in the intrigue
of what could or could not be
it doesn't turn out like it could have
this story took on quite a spin
but I'm benevolent with this ending
after it all finally falls into place
everything as it should be
what's not happening between you and me
ya need a place where it can hide away
where everything is not as appears
where shadows never see the light of day
smoke hiding the trick mirrors
after all this dust settles down
after all this dust settles down
you are quite the visionary
seeing how it would turn out
knowing what I require
no absense of truth and doubt
a true friend through thick and thin
the kind that sees all and still hangs in
it doesn't need to be a suffix
it takes a different turn that's all
a benefit of what friends require
every little once in awhile
yeah, I'm good with that
yeah finally, I'm good with that
after all the dust settles down
after all the dust settles down
