Lyrics

When dust blows

Male:
There you were coming from behind the clouds
The moment when I was down and out
Even though people told you I was no good
You stayed around knowing where I stood

Female:
Now those times have changed and you feel low
I will hang on and follow wherever you go
People say you changed too much
But let me heal you with my touch

Joint male/ female:

When the wind howls and the dust blows
This is when we stick around only God knows
When the house is on fire and the walls come down
This is when we fight together until we come around

Male:

The train is going downhill and brakes may burn
There may come a moment when the world turns
But as long as we are together and you hold my hand
We can walk the road and cross this barren land

Female:

When we crash and all is rock and roll
And it feels like the devil owns your soul
We will hang on holding hands and pray
Staying lovers till our dying days

Joint male/female:

When the wind howls and the dust blows
This is when we stick around only God knows
When the house is on fire and the walls come down
This is when we fight together until we come around
