Ground To Dust

from I Think I Am by Colette O'Connor

/

about

Acoustic walking blues that takes an authoritative walk all over any human illusions of grandeur. It has all the strong woman power "Black Horse and a Cherry Tree" only slower, with a bit more sway, and without the "woohoo."

lyrics

Times of glory always fall
So much to grind between us all
Feel that grindstone as it turns
Every stone was a lesson learned
Ground to dust
into the cracks
The world goes 'round on everyone and nothing every lasts.
We only have one moment on this land of sacred trust
until it all gets ground to dust.
There is a name under all
By which we pay Peter from Paul
What's your name?
Say it now.
Because on stone someday it shall be found
Ground to dust
into the cracks
The world goes 'round on everyone and nothing every lasts.
We only have one moment on this land of sacred trust
until it all gets ground to dust.
See the glory
as it falls
This fragile place we share between us all.
When each headstone
is in its place
Where will be the human race?
Hey what's that mark we thought to make?
Nothing left for us to take, it's
Ground to dust
into the cracks
The world goes 'round on everyone and nothing every lasts.
We only have one moment on this land of sacred trust
until it all, until it all, until it all gets ground to dust.
Ground to dust.
