Fire and Dust

Liner Notes

For the first time in 20 years, I forgot it was FAWM. But I can pull off a cowboy waltz in 20 minutes.

So I did.

My Best Beloved saves my life every single day. Without her I would be dead in a ditch. Or maybe things wouldn't even be that good.

First draft, I had to stop and cry so often I didn't even try to splice it together. Second draft only needed one splice.

In my defense, I am on hormone replacement therapy which makes me excessively emotional. In my truth, that isn't really the reason now is it?

Lyrics

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

the eyes that fire my heart
the smile that fills up my soul
the face that lives in my dreams and my waking
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

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

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

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