coal dust

Missing the place

I thought had sucked away my life

It’s where I was raised and caged

It’s where I spent my time

I thought I escaped, was saved

I found a better part of the sky

Never wanted to see it again

But now I’ve changed my mind

I was a just a kid

Least it made some sense

I was never coming back

I said so long

Now I’ll have a heart attack

If I don’t go home

Guess I’ll stroll into town

And wipe off the old rust

Have to see you around

Where the sun meets the coal dust

There’s a place for my old guitar

Oil spill in the wrecked garage

Dust settles and it’s never enough

Force of habit tends to mess me up

Caught up, still on the fantasy, the whole of me

Parked up, still with a magazine, casually

I was a just a kid

Least it made some sense

I was never coming back

I said so long

Now I’ll have a heart attack

If I don’t go home

Guess I’ll stroll into town

And wipe off the old rust

Have to see you around

Where the sun meets the coal dust

I was never coming back

I said so long

Now I’ll have a heart attack

If I don’t go home

Guess I’ll stroll into town

And wipe off the old rust

Have to see you around

Where the sun meets the coal dust
