The Observer, Dusty and the Echoes of His Past
Текст песни
And she found one
And she found one
Dusty in the echoes of his past
He stood near the curb watching
Not in a hurry
Not waiting for anything
Just existing in the sun drenched quiet of a phoenix afternoon
Hey
He coughed squinting into the light
His voice edged with curiosity
You asked more than one of those
I had to step closer
The ringing in my ears
Turned voices into echoes sometimes
Like I'm tuned in a radio
That won't quite lock onto the station
Nope, just the one I answered
As Daisy mapped his legs with her paws
Claiming him as part of her expanding world
Oh boy
He nodded
Thought I saw through
Running around yesterday
Could have been from the house down there
Or the one over there
Pugs a small fast sneaky
Could have been ghosts for all I knew
We kept talking
Like most strangers do when they meet me
He started unraveling his life
One thread at a time
Kind of a morning born lamb
Dogs memories left in another time
He spoke of neighbors, old places
And the one that he knew
The kind of man who played Russian roulette
As if fate were just another bar bet
Lost
The details sat between us
Short bench but weightless
Like a pocket knife spinning idly on a table top
He was always nice to me
Dusty scent
As if that made the story a little less tragic
I nodded
Sometimes the world doesn't make sense
So we carve out the parts that do
Wrapped up with the kind of honesty
That only comes when two people
Let the moment be what it is
You know
It was really nice talking to you
He said
Like you meant it
I did too
I did too
I did too
I did too
I did too
I did too
