The Dust In The Wind

about

This is the first song I wrote on my Jasmine 12 string in late July 1991.

lyrics

The Dust In The Wind

I saw you standing outside of the gates
and sorry that I could not let you in
You started to cry and I started to laugh
tears were a flying like the dust in the wind

As others gathered around the lady at the gate
they gaze through the bars to see what made her cry
they all turn their heads and I laughed and they wept
why do they cry? I do wonder why?
the tears were flying like the dust in the wind

They act without shame as if life's just a game
and everyone gets their chance to choose any man
and if no one complains they'll all play the same game
and they'll all either win or lose in the end

Like ragged old crowns they wear a big frown
because they were destined to live and destined to die
my dreams have been born not thrown out the door
and that is just why I laugh and they cry
and that is just way I live and they die
tears were a flying like the dust in the wind.
