SPIRIT OF DUST

Pukka Music 2014

First released on:  Diamonds On The Water, 2014

there's a glimpse of light through the window-pane 
early sun through the pouring rain 
this ancient house is getting me down 
these brooding hills are gathering round

and I'll take you with me if you've got the trust 
just say you will, I cannot say you must 
for the angels left here long ago 
and the spirit of dust just says 
(aaah...) now go

we'll meet on the shores of Tal-y-llyn 
shield our bodies from the careless wind 
we'll burn our boats for our first screen-kiss 
it'll be mid-morning before we're missed

and we'll say goodbye to the lights and cries 
now the laughter's gone from their tired eyes 
for the angels left here long ago 
and the spirit of dust just says 
(aaah...) 

and we'll say goodbye to the lights and cries 
to the narrow gaze of their tired eyes 
for love of fire and burning skies 
and I'll take you with me 
I'll take you with me 
I'll take you with me

together on a journey that knows no end 
a brand new start round every bend 
together on a journey that needs no chart 
just the open road and a hungry heart

and I'll take you with me if you've got the trust 
just say you will, I cannot say you must 
for the angels left here long ago 
and the spirit of dust just says 
(aaah...) now go
