WHISPERS IN THE DUST
I KNOW, SOME OF THEM DON’T LEAVE
OCCASIONALLY STOP ON BY, TUG ON MY SLEAVE
AND WHISPER COUPLE THINGS INTO MY EAR
“HOW IS EVERYBODY, HAVING A GOOD YEAR?”
I TRY TO TUNE ‘EM IN WHEN THEY’RE AROUND
BUT WORDS ARE HARD TO HEAR UNDERGROUND
WHISPERS IN THE DUST / A SPIRIT WANDERLUST
THEY CROSS ONE DIMENSION TO THIS SIDE
AND POP UP OUTTA NOWHERE, DON’T WANNA HIDE
EVERLASTING LOVE REACHES THROUGH
PASS ON A BLESSING, WHEN IT SHINES ON YOU
MY MOTHER, BROTHER, FATHER LIVING ON
IN ANOTHER PLACE, BUT THEY’RE NEVER GONE
WHISPERS IN THE DUST / A SACRIFICIAL TRUST
WHEN AN ANGEL TOUCHES DOWN, FEELS SO GOOD
I WON’T EVER LOSE THAT LOVE, EVEN IF I COULD
THOUGH THEY’VE GONE AWAY, THEY CARRY ON
INFINITY IS A MARATHON
WHISPERS IN THE DUST / A SPIRIT WANDERLUST
WHISPERS IN THE DUST / CARRY ON THAT TRUST
Really nice song, Tom. It was a pleasure to meet you today; although sad circumstances. Peace be with you.
Hello Francine,
Thanks for the listen. Hopefully Tom will tug on my sleeve sometime soon. He was a real spirit.
Tom
As you know I read the lyrics as soon as you wrote them, but only now have had the courage to hear them with your very haunting melody. I can truly empathize. I feel Jim’s presence with me everyday. Thanks for putting my feelings into a song.
Hello Mary,
I’m glad you listened, and I hope there are some comforting thoughts in there. I miss Bro James as well, in a different way than you of course.
Love,
Tom
Thank you for singing “Fire and Rain” for us at the DelaneyHouse, and introducing us to “Whispers In The Dust”. My wife and I both loved the song, and it is very fitting. I hope we have the opportunity to see you again.
