Dust in her place (Keep)

Dry wind howlin’... she’s gone again My boots sink in where she used to stand Smoke from the road, I watched it rise Like the last breath from her mouth that night No note, no word, just a whisper trail Through motel beds and a coyote wail Now it’s just dust in her place A shadow burned into grace I trace the heat with my hand But there’s no love in the sand Her perfume lingers in desert air Like sin soaked into a sun-bleached prayer I drink and stare through the heatwave hum Counting mistakes till the night don’t come Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Now it’s just dust in her place A ghost I can't replace I call her name to the skies But it just echoes with lies Truck lights fade, the sky turns red Her voice still rings with the words she said The road is rough, like a broken wheel And the scar of a love that'll never heal Now it’s just dust in her place A ghost I can't replace I call her name to the skies But it just echoes with lies She’s gone again Like the storm that never rained I still taste her name Like copper, like pain Like copper, like pain Like copper.....and pain
