The Civil Wars
Dust to Dust (Acoustic)
[Verse 1: Joy Williams with John Paul White]
It's not your eyes
It's not what you say
It's not your laughter
That gives you away
You're just lonely
You've been lonely
Too long
All your acting, your thin disguise
All your perfectly delivered lines
They don't fool me
You've been lonely
Too long
[Chorus: Joy Williams with John Paul White]
Let me in the walls
You've built around
We can light a match
And burn them down
Let me hold your hand
And dance 'round and 'round the flames
In front of us
Dust to dust
[Verse 2: John Paul White with Joy Williams]
You've held your head up
You've fought the fight
You bear the scars
You've done your time
Listen to me
You've been lonely
Too long
[Chorus: Joy Williams with John Paul White]
Let me in the walls
You've built around
We can light a match
And burn them down
And let me hold your hand
And dance 'round and 'round the flames
In front of us
Dust to dust
[Verse 3: John Paul White, Joy WilliamsBoth]
You're like a mirror reflecting me
Takes one to know one, so take it from me
You've been lonely
You've been lonely
Too long
We've been lonely
We've been lonely, too long
