Arizona Dust - Blue Rodeo

Oh darling

That’s not the way it was planned

I know I kept you waiting

I screwed up my timing again

You told me the fears that were in your head

Sitting there cross-legged on my bed

Don’t you stay away long that’s what you said

So quickly

Summer ran right into spring

I see your face lying next to me Just on the edge of my dreams

So tired I can’t explain

I lost something precious that was in my hand

Let it all slip away slow like grains of sand

If you’re through with me I guess I’ll see

When I’m standing at your door

I finally got my balance back

To where I was before

And I’ve never been so lonely

So I’m singing a Skydiggers' song

As I’m eating Arizona dust

And wishing I was home

It’s too hard to look back

When you don’t like what you see

Pictures of all the people I love

I let them down so casually

And you told me all the fears that were in your head

Sitting there cross-legged on my bed

Don’t you stay away long that’s what you said

If you’re through with me I guess I’ll see

When I’m standing at your door

I finally got my balance back

To where I was before

And I’ve never been so lonely

So I’m singing a Skydiggers' song

As I’m eating Arizona dust

And wishing I was home

As I’m eating Arizona dust

And wishing I was home

As I’m eating Arizona dust

And wishing I was home
