Dust and Dreams ( original song with lyrics)

Details

Description

This is a song I wrote about a girl whose heart was broken and now she can't settle down but seems to hurt the men she meets.
I'm playing the guitar in open D. tuning.
A big thanks to Wink who is playing the banjo and singing harmony.
Thanks to Josh Kirk for the image

Lyrics :

While you were sleeping I walked away
And left you dreaming of the good old days
I always told you I’m passing through
Nothing lasts dear not even me and you

Chorus
I once loved and lost it all
I walked the walk but I felt so small
Alone I carry dust and dreams
Shadows of what could have been

I’ve since travelled over untamed lands
But never found my forever man
I keep you some place in my mind
Will you think of me as the hurting kind

When you wake if your heart is low
The words I wrote will let you know
All things pass even when you're blue
Nothing lasts dear not even me and you

Chorus
I once loved and lost it all I walked the walk but I felt so small
AloneI carry dust and dreams
Shadows of what could have been

I hope that you’ll think kind of me
