Blankets of Dust  (Keelan, Chambers)


Cm     Eb    Cm     Bb6
Cm     Eb    Cm     Gm

their silence
is motionless
while around
the commerce and people traffic

their beds
are cardboard thin
with blankets of dust

only each other
huddled together
forgiven to forget
nobody seems to care

an old woman stops
she wants to help
she stares so long

then shakes her head
but leaves them behind
few of so many
safe in sleep
the stallowner gives
a bottle of water
his shower for the week
cuts his hair
and breathes new life

the boy begins to sing
motions to dance
will to survive
for pleasure and pain

his hand goes out
eyes meet the floor
trying to forget
the endless plight

he smokes and spits
fights his friends
playing life games
not fearing the end

    
I look into his eyes the depth is eternal     
I'm falling, tumbling ,spiralling
