Dust Storm

V1
Your love was always shameless
As the offer of a rose
In the hand of street vendor
With a diamond in his nose

Chorus 1
There’s a cloud on the horizon
And a dust storm on its way
To sand away my memory
And shutter up the windowpanes

V2
The last time you laid eyes on me
You knew that I would lie
About who won the war of love
And how I might survive

(Chorus 1)

V3
There’s an old dog on the sidewalk
With a bare patch on his back
Rubbed away by tenderness
Sometimes I feel like that

Chorus 2

I suppose I should be on my way
But what am I to do?
That dust storm
That dust storm
Is you
