The Dust from the Steps Before

from Waiting Games by Coyotes and Wolves

/

lyrics

Starting with the moment the clouds parted,
the sun spilled its light onto a split heel, a pair of blank eyes
and every moment became a deep pool of urgency,
the kind that no one can escape

The first thing I did was cut out a piece of my heart
to make a hole, some small hiding place
The first thing I did was cut out a piece of my heart
to make a hole, some place where I could keep you safe

One warm night, I heard you call my name
[you] said, "please, please, come find me."
Tonight, I walked our home, singing songs alone,
singing loud, "I’d try anything to find you"

The first thing I did was cut out a piece of my heart
to make a hole, some small hiding place
I could not meet a soul who’d tell me where to go
but I found that door, and I threw it wide

And down below, all the ghosts said
"Watch out for the dust from the steps before
The darkness will play tricks on you
and you must keep your faith"

I want to have faith
I want to have faith
I want to have faith
I want to have faith
