lyrics

8. Little Speck of Dust 3:25

When the wind blew in it came across the bay
Nearly everybody here packed up and moved away
And in the sideways rain not a thing was dry
The only peaceful place was inside the eye

Is it a brand new start
Is it a brand new day
If your troubles were like this town they’d be washed away
Here you are when all is said and done
You’re just a little bitty speck of dust going ‘round the sun

And when the wind died down what was left behind
Was clothes in the trees and a muddy water line
Nearly everything was taken back to ground
There’s not much left but it’s all there is to this town

Is it a brand new start
Is it a brand new day
If your blues were like this town they’d be washed away
Here you are no matter what you’ve done
You’re just a little bitty speck of dust going ‘round the sun

So they say
Everything that you hold dear will pass away

And then the hard part starts for those who stick around
Do you build the place back up or do you knock it down
The choice is not as easy as it seems
And things never turn out like they do in your dreams

Is it a brand new start
Is it a brand new day
If your sins were like this town they’d be washed away
Here you are when all is said and done
You’re just a little bitty speck of dust going round the sun
And here you are you’re not the only one
You’re just a little bitty speck of dust going round the sun
