What is Dust?

Lyrics
Met her at the farmer’s market Reaching for the same misshapen fruit Our eyes met across the pears Then three months later, we were through Our love eroded quickly like The topsoil swept away by the rain She was like a soaring bird And I was the squirrel on the ground Just one feeder in the yard But plenty of seeds to go around We both wanted the same thing But I was scrambling as she flew away What is dust? What is grime? What’s the difference between soil and dirt? Has the dirt just been displaced by time? You And I Who’d have thought that we would grow apart? Now I lie awake in squalor Haunted by the specter of a filthy man Both of us have broken hearts And neither of us think we’ll ever love again He stopped bathing when she died But I stopped living even though I’m still alive What is dust? What is grime? What’s the difference between soil and dirt? Has the dirt just been displaced by time? You And I Who’d have thought that we would grow apart? What is dust? What is grime? What’s the difference between soil and dirt? Has the dirt just been displaced by time? You And I Who’d have thought that we would grow apart?
