Diamond Head - Dust lyrics

rate me

I've tried believin' even tried cheatin' myself

of almost everything just to fashion reason out of what

must have been nothin' at all

Now I can't when exactly I saw through the darkness and into the light

Fantastic as it was it was cool and bright

Like on a steely night of shadows

Still far from home

When I came round

I saw myself on a merry go round

With my heart on the ground

And there I see

The rains coming down to wash away the dream we found

Lyin' there for all to see in the dust of memories

Where the rain beats down to wash away the dream we found

Now there's nothing left for me

But you can set me free

I won't believe ya neither deceive ya when you say we gotta carry on

'Cos I know the dream is over

The one we shared so long...too long

When we could have been getting on just being friends

And not holding on to the past

Which is just sand

I guess we try to belong

'Cos we have to be strong just to get it done

But I was on the ground most of the time

On a merry go round looking up but going down

And there I see the rains comin' down to wash away the dream we found

Lyin' there for all to see in the dust of memories

Where the rain beats down to wash away the dream we found

Now there's nothing left for me

Can you see? The rain beat down, rain come down

But what can we do with a thing like you

A heart with a hard on for ignorance

A child of fools where nothing rings true

In a myth that's cruel, where I see the cross

You see the nail, where you see the mytsery I see the failure

And it's bringing me down, I'm just a clown

On a merry go round looking up but going down

And there I see the rains comin' down to wash away the dream we found

Lyin' there for all to see in the dust of memories

Where the rain beats down to wash away the dream we found

A spider fingered vice all sugar and spice

Runnin' down my face feelin' like black rain

Clawin' under my skin and running through my veins

Like a poison I must suck just to change my luck

Where the rain beats down to wash away the dream we found

Rain beat down...down...rain beat down

Down Down Down Down Down Yeah

Rain beat down...Dream come down
