Woke up this morning by the side of a dusty road The sun was a gold coin, a story to be told Didn't have a destination, didn't have a plan Just a pocket full of nothing and the calluses on my hand The wind was whispering secrets that only I could hear About leaving all your troubles and leaving all your fear... behind you. 'Cause all you really own is the dust and the morning dew And the love you give away is the love that comes back to you Yeah, all you really own is the song you're passing through Just the dust and the morning dew... I met a crazy prophet with wild and laughing eyes He said the truth ain't written down, it's reflected in the skies He said that all the kings and queens with all their power and their might Are just scared little children, afraid of the coming night So you better learn to dance, son, while the music's still around Before they build another city on this sacred ground... 'Cause all you really own is the dust and the morning dew And the love you give away is the love that comes back to you Yeah, all you really own is the song you're passing through Just the dust and the morning dew... 'Cause all you really own is the dust and the morning dew And the love you give away is the love that comes back to you Yeah, all you really own is the song you're passing through Just the dust and the morning dew... ...the dust and the morning dew...
