Gold Dust

The song below is verse-less. It has a two long choruses, an intro, and a bridge, but no consecutive verses. I'm trying something different, all while borrowing old words from myself. I've been listening to a lot of Damian Rice here lately. This seems like the kinds of words he would use.

Gold Dust

Intro

Heaven stayed awake one night,
And created the world by mistake.
It slept through most the dreamy day,
And took forever to awake.

Chorus
We were made in the stars the two of us,
But the star fades from gold to gold dust,
And then just to dust,
We trust because we must.

The lightning supports the evidence,
That the spark in our kiss is relevant
To the eloquence
Of the universe.

It's just as much to be me,
As it is to be
The moon,
The stars,
And the sea.

Bridge
And if in waking you seem to find,
Or don't and disappear;
See no reason to withstand,
Withdraw, and wither to tears.

Chorus
We were made in the stars the two of us,
But the star fades from gold to gold dust,
And then just to dust,
We trust because we must.

The lightning supports the evidence,
That the spark in our kiss is relevant
To the eloquence
Of the universe.

It's just as much to be me,
As it is to be
The moon,
The stars,
And the sea.

  1. I love the line "the spark in our kiss is relevant"...
