Rust on the Wind

[Verse] The barn leans left like a tired old man, Rust creeps slow on the watering can. A crow on the fencepost, sharp as a knife, This land holds the scars of a working life. [Chorus] Rust on the wind, dust in my hair, The years drift by, like smoke in the air. I can’t stop time, I can’t make it mend, But I’ll hold onto this, till the very end. [Verse 2] Grandma’s quilt’s got a tear at the seam, The porch still creaks where I used to dream. The river don’t sing like it did back then, But it whispers secrets every now and again. [Chorus] Rust on the wind, dust in my hair, The years drift by, like smoke in the air. I can’t stop time, I can’t make it mend, But I’ll hold onto this, till the very end. [Bridge] The sun sets low, paints the sky in red, Shadows dance where the stories are bred. Every nail, every board, every stone I see, Holds the weight of a memory. [Chorus] Rust on the wind, dust in my hair, The years drift by, like smoke in the air. I can’t stop time, I can’t make it mend, But I’ll hold onto this, till the very end.
