Just a blink and you might miss
my desert town and all it's been
in past lives now buried and bled dry
Near the end of motel road
I'd pour 'em up for dried out souls off vacant streets
we'd board up our worn out dreams
Dust Storm
please take control of me
if I'm only your tumbleweed
tumble me out to sea
Then through a pair of swingin' doors
in he came for shelter from the storm
the smell of salt, the sea in every pore
Had my ear for hours on end
held a seashell up and said
"listen, just listen"
Dust Storm…
I'd trade each cascabel
in for just one seashell
trade in the silent sands
for the roar of the waves
cast me out
to an ocean floor grave, I pray
to spend my last days on the seaside
among the waters he had worked and died
I'd see the sights, that stranger had once described
all my days of fixin' bad drinks
pull tab dreams, kickin' cigarette machines
I know I should have left, all those years ago when he asked
Dust Storm
please take control of me
I'm only your tumbleweed
so tumble me out to sea
