Fall to Dust 03:46
Fall to Dust When I was young I knew a woman determined to have me she wooed me she pursued me she would not give up Though I was a reckless drinker she said we were destined to be together forever and ever unto dust When I finally gave up my heart our loving it was wild I swore off the liquor she bore me a child I'd learned to love that woman I deeply loved my son I believed we'd be together forever unto dust But one night she told me I was her biggest mistake harder words I'd never heard I knew I was to blame I failed to drop the bottle my biggest, my only mistake my dreams all fall to dust and my heart knows only heart break Now I'm old and know a woman determined to forget me miles away in another man's home she lives with my son though I rarely get to see him I am determined to be his father forever and ever unto dust Soon my son will be a man and I won't be there to guide him to tell him of mistakes I made that drove my family from me Perhaps when he has a family of his own he'll learn to love his father and his children will call me Grandpa forever, unto dust Last night he called me his biggest shame harder words I'd never heard I knew I was to blame I'd failed to drop the bottle my biggest my only mistake my dreams all fall to dust and my heart knows only heartbreak

about

Daniel Heila & Daniel Boone's Fault Eugene, Oregon

Podunk expat living in Oregon trying to remember to put the chickens in and the cats out at night. Will the woodshed ever get built? I wonder. Somewhere between family and fortune is a bit of quiet space where I get a song written now and then.
