Sweat and Dust 2 (version 2)

Intro

(Whispered) Oh, listen close

Verse 1

Creek bank moonlight on the skin I know

Your hands find the collarbone right where it shows

A single drop falls from your wrist to mine

And we stay there, quiet as the night

(Hushed) Is this love or just the sweat and dust?

But every drop that hits my spine feels true

(Whispered) I'm not letting go

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when is this becoming less of a dream?

Tell me what comes after these four little words: 'I remember your name'?

(Soft sigh)

Hold still, hold still

Chorus

Sweat and dust, the same old song we know

Creek bank moonlight on my collarbone

Your hands keep finding places I thought were gone

And every drop that falls feels like we're not wrong

(Hushed) Sweat and dust, this isn't over yet

(Soft) Not by a long shot, love. No way to give up now

Verse 2

Water line across your ribcage, same as mine

Your fingers tracing where the sun don't shine

A single bird starts singing just off-key

And I believe every single thing you say

(Hushed) Is this love or just the heat and time?

But every breath you take feels like it's mine

(Whispered) I'm not letting go of anything

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when is this becoming less of a dream?

Tell me what comes after these four little words: 'I remember your name'?

(Soft sigh)

Hold still, hold still

Chorus

Sweat and dust, the same old song we know

Creek bank moonlight on my collarbone

Your hands keep finding places I thought were gone

And every drop that falls feels like we're not wrong

(Hushed) Sweat and dust, this isn't over yet

(Soft) Not by a long shot, love. No way to give up now

Bridge

(Whispered) Maybe it's not just sweat and dust at all

Maybe these four little words are the only truth I ever knew

(Soft inhale)

Tell me if this feeling stays past sunup high

Is this the start of something or goodbye?

(Hushed) I'm not ready for either one to leave

But I'll hold on tight till one of us finds home

Chorus

Sweat and dust, the same old song we know

Creek bank moonlight on my collarbone

Your hands keep finding places I thought were gone

And every drop that falls feels like we're not wrong

(Hushed) Sweat and dust, this isn't over yet

(Soft) Not by a long shot, love. No way to give up now
