Happiness is weightless and floats up like an ember Through the dust clouds, I remember Feeling like a drop in a stream down to an ocean Fighting fading to a ghost, but Everything will pause and be still When the weeds are shooting through the floor The flood comes bursting through the door The mind can be a whirlwind that whips up all the dust To cloud our minds obscure our view Of the warmth that is around us the love of those we look to I saw dust 'til I saw you, and Everything will pause and be still When the weeds are shooting through the floor The flood comes bursting through the door The actors are backing out of clear sight When happiness fades into the backlight The threads are in tangles like a fist fight Swinging me side to side Back and forth and back and forth Everything will pause and be still When the weeds are shooting through the floor The flood comes bursting through the door Come on around, clear these dust clouds 'Cause the day's too short to wish away or undersell the words you say
