Fire and Dust

A
a little frame at the edge of my desk
E
dust in every cranny and nook
A D
hard to see through the glare of the glass
A E A
but I see every time I look

D A
the eyes that fire my heart
D E
the smile that fills up my soul
D A
the face that lives in my dreams and my waking
E A
the one who makes me whole

we started in fire and dust
a burning and swirling star
though with time our orbits have settled
still smold’ring ’cause that’s who we are

chorus

E A E
death came to call and we shooed him away
E A
we lived on the road when we could
E A
we’re slower but wiser and still just as poor
D E
but we know that we’ve got it good

chorus

the one who makes me whole
