[Verse 1] We never talk about that evening Just skip the month like a torn-out page Your jacket still hanging by the doorway Like it’s waiting for a fall of rain [Chorus] When the dust settles It’s strangers at the table Quiet like a chapel after everyone has left I keep hearing little echoes in the hallway And as they say “Love endures Yet the heart of a man may be stone” [Verse 2] I remember how the room fell silent How a single word could tear the air Now the shadow is left walking in my way But your footsteps never reach the stairs [Chorus] When the dust settles Now It’s strangers at the table So careful with our questions Oh so careful with our tone I keep tracing all the cracks along the ceiling And they say “Love endures But finds the hearts of men are stone” [Bridge] Blessed are the bruised who choose to loosen their hands Blessed are the weary who will learn to stand For the wound may speak Yet the healer holds his own And the truth may rise where the bitter seeds were sown [Chorus] When the dust settles We are sorting through the pieces Numbering what is broken And what things we still can hold I keep hearing that old whisper in the silence “It is written Love endures But may break the hearts of men that are stone” Love endures But may break the hearts of men that are stone” When the dust settles
