Shake Out the Dust

Shake Out The Dust
Caroline said: No.
Case closed. You cannot get sick, you cannot leave us now.
And then she rose
To the window, looking down on the street
and there she froze

She said: James, Weve both made mistakes, weve both played a hurtful part
But the thought of loosing you right now is breaking my heart
I dont want this cancer in our life
I meant forever when I said Id be your wife
I will no longer take us for granted and treat you in a dismissive way
Just get better today

Chorus
In the corner there is clutter, and on the metal there is rust
But now and then there are moments that
That shake out the dust

Charlie drove 200 miles a day
His job was always taking him away
His kids got used to it
And Charlie missed a lot
But soon little things like birthdays he forgot

Charlie didnt see the truck jacking cross the lane
He swerved and missed that Mack sliding through the pouring rain
Airbag out, SUV backward on the rail
Inches from extinction all he heard was the sirens wail
Now home and children were the only things on his mind
And that was the end of his daily grind

Chorus

BRIDGE
TV report breaks in said Delta flight 306
Fell out of the sky in near Dallas and crashed in the sticks
It stopped our argument and shattered the tense
Now what we had been fighting about suddenly seemed like such none sense

Chorus
