Dust on the Strings

[Verse]
The wood creaks low beneath my feet
A lonesome floor
A lonesome beat
Dust gathers where the sunlight leans
On an old guitar
With worn-out dreams

[Chorus]
Dust on the strings
Songs untold
Echoes of a heart that's grown so cold
Play it soft
Let the silence sing
There's life still left in the dust on the strings

[Verse 2]
A river bends
But it don't break
Like these hands that time can't take
The scars
The calloused fingertips
Hold stories deep
Like sunken ships

[Prechorus]
Oh
The world forgets what the soul holds tight
A song’s a flame in the quiet night

[Chorus]
Dust on the strings
Songs untold
Echoes of a heart that's grown so cold
Play it soft
Let the silence sing
There's life still left in the dust on the strings

[Bridge]
If this wood could whisper
If these frets could cry
They’d speak of years gone
A fading sky
But here in my hands
They hum again
A thread to the past
A link to when
