Yellow Paint And Dust

Verse 1

Cardboard boxes

Piled high against the yellow paint

Leaving

Moving slow

My heavy heart feels faint

Dust on the floor

Quiet rooms

I close the door

Chorus

Rain falls on the patio

Rain falls on the patio

Maybe it is better this way

Just a soft goodbye

Maybe it is better this way

Letting the water dry

Verse 2

Tangled strings

Rusty keys and silver rings

Found them

Under the bed

Old words I never said

Now

I walk

I breathe

I leave

Salt on my skin

Knowing where I have been

The tide pulls out

Ending the doubt

Chorus

Rain falls on the patio

Rain falls on the patio

Maybe it is better this way

Just a soft goodbye

Maybe it is better this way

Letting the water dry

Bridge

Softly

Surely

Slowly

The wind turns cold

The seasons grow old

Watching the birds fly south

Bitter taste in my mouth

Verse 3

Morning sun

Waking up the sleeping hills

Empty

Coffee cup

Counting out the dollar bills

Home

Change of pace

New face

Chorus

Rain falls on the patio

Rain falls on the patio

Maybe it is better this way

Just a soft goodbye

Maybe it is better this way

Letting the water dry

Outro

Just a soft goodbye

Just a soft goodbye

Letting it dry

Letting it dry

Moving on

Gone

Moving on
