DAVID GRAY LYRICS - Gathering Dust

"Gathering Dust"



I got no reason

But that I must

Maybe I feel

Like I've been gatherin' dust

I must leave this harbour for the sea

I'm too young to settle down and make a home

But I don't know where I'm wanting to be

I just know I have to be there alone



Stole my time, all my time

Stole my time for you



Pale winter sun

Is beatin' the ground

Why'm I throwin' away

The best thing that I've found

My young heart's in tatters and I'm sure

That it will be a long time healing

It's so hard to see what I'm doing this for

When loneliness is all that I'm feeling



Stole my time, all my time

Spend my time, for you



Now the wind it is blowing

Blowing leaves from the trees

I've got no use knowing

That with time it'll ease

I don't know where I'm going

Hope I get there soon

Cos my soul is hollow

As the sorrowful moon

Na na na na...



The night is raining on my weary head

Taking me back



See the sun spread its wings of gold

As the dawn unfurls

Hear the song that the moon sings

To the darkened world

Feel the fire lighting

In the bitter cold

It's like the light that shines

Through the windows of your soul
