Dresser Drawer - Amos Lee

The phone rings

And I don’t care who it is that is calling

You moved our things from ours to his

While outside the snow is falling

The wedding band that meant so much

Signified our blessed vow

Like coffee spills and unpaid bills and all my pills

It’s in a dusty dresser drawer now

I watched these trees from green to brown

Suddenly this small town has gotten smaller

The arctic breeze it sings to me, and says now look

Any fool can go out and walk on water

I shoulda known that time alone

Would only serve to break you down

Don’t know why I sit and stare at that damn thing sitting there

In a dusty dresser drawer now

Snow has turned to water

To please the trees

And cheer up that late bloomer

While I’m sipping on a beer counting down another year

Couldn’t come a second sooner

I wonder how easily that ring it slid off of your finger

Did you stop for a moment

Let the memory of us linger

Or was it just an afterthought

Like casting water from a bow

I’m past the point of crying

For a love that lies there dying

In a dusty dresser drawer now

It’s such a goddamn shame

Right next to your picture frame

In a dusty dresser drawer now

If anybody asks me what I think, that love is for now, I’ll tell them

Look in a dusty dresser drawer now
