Time they call the universal healer
Bb Eb Cm7 Cm7(addF)
But you're back every three days
Bb Cm7/F
Settling all around me
Bb Cm7/Bb Bb
A feather duster's no substitute for the real thing
Eb Bb
And the dust you left behind is settling still
F/A Gm F Eb Bb Cm7/Bb Bb F/A
Refrain - With you dawn never tasted so good
Gm F6 Eb Bb
Swept up like debris on a Saturday night. Did we ever have fun
Cm7/F Bb Eb
And the dust, the gentle legacy you left behind
F Eb/F Bb Cm7 Bb/D
Is falling softly on my mind
Eb Ab/Eb Eb Bb Eb/Bb Bb Eb
Dust, the timeless memory of you, I love you
Ab/Bb Eb Bb F Cm7/F Dm/F Eb/F
I do for all the little things you do and I guess I always will
Bb Cm7/F Bb Bb7 Eb
The dust settles again to remind me still
F Bb F/Bb Eb/Bb F/Bb
Of memories I've cherished so long
Hold me close to your side 'cause my love won't decay anymore
Memories of hope of those long summer days
And the dust you left behind is settling still
(refrain)
Bb F/Bb Eb/Bb F/Bb F/Bb Eb/Bb
Feeling your body stretched so long,
Bb Eb/Bb F/Bb Bb Eb/Bb
What was it went so wrong, went wrong
Bb F/Bb Eb/Bb F/Bb Bb F/Bb Eb/Bb
That our love, our love it was gone
Bb F/Bb Eb/Bb F/Bb Bb F/Bb Eb/Bb
But our friendship's going strong
