lyrics

In the Dust

I’ve seen tears in Brooklyn
Seen tears in Berlin
Seen tears rolling down the street
In the city of sin

And I asked for nothing
But I got too much
Went looking for heaven in the dust

Some look for love
And some look for pain
Some find them both
And some look in vain

I asked for nothing
But I got too much
Went looking for heaven in the dust

Come see me at midnight
Come see me at dawn
There’ll be no choir of angels
’cause we all sing alone

Exiled from Eden
Walked past the outskirts of hell
But the light in your eyes
I remember it well

Minutes turn to hours
And hours turn to days
Days turn to years
And the years fade away

I asked for nothing
But I got too much
Went looking for heaven in the dust

And I asked for nothing
But I got too much
Went looking for heaven in the dust
