Gravel & Dust

Ilse DeLange

Back to the water
Back to the sand
Back to the heart of
Where we began

Break it down to the truth laid bare
Till there's no defenses, no walls to hide us
Till the stones that we build them off
Turn to gravel and dust

Lay down the anger
Lay down the fears
Lay down the heartbreak
Lay down the years

Been swallowing tears like wine
Been drowning in expectations
Been watching this house of love
Turn to gravel and dust

Back to the rain and the wind and the fire
Back to the ashes and the rust
Back to that ancient rolling storm of desire
That once was us
Back to the gravel and the dust

Back to the water
Back to the sand
Back to the heart of
Where we began

Back to the rain and the wind and the fire
Back to the ashes and the rust
Back to that ancient rolling storm of desire
That once was us
Back to the gravel and the dust
