    “Life That Still Grew in the Dust explores love and loneliness - the dichotomy between being intimate with someone and sometimes feeling alone in the midst of it.

Broken Light 02:47
Holy morning, lost in Tennessee Sorrowful and broken light is breathing life in me I can't explain it I just want you near Everything I've built I'd burn it down for you my dear If you are my love If you are my love If you are my love As the walls fall I can't let you go All the plans I drew up they mean nothing to me now Yes I see it, the hypocrite I am But I'm lost in my longing and I do not give a damn If you are my love If you are my love If you are my love

I dreamed that I was Wrapped up in a wave Washed up on the shore where the spotlights they were All searching for me Woke up next to you Golden light on your hair Soft breath on my chest It was too much to bear After I told you you said that somehow you just knew Winter surrender in hopes of a merciful bloom Surveyed the landscape for life that still grew in the dust Walked through the morning and talked with the ghost of my love Sometimes when I speak I am miles away I fidget with rust and I strain for not much Of anything to say I walk through the ruins Places lost to the past I am trying my best to become friends With my loneliness After I told you you said that somehow you just knew Winter surrender in hopes of a merciful bloom Surveyed the landscape for life that still grew in the dust Walked through the morning and talked with the ghost of my love

about

Life That Still Grew in the Dust finds songwriter Paul Moody probing the dark subconscious of relationships, looking for something solid to grasp. Often finding himself adrift, unsure of where he is heading. As he sings about love that is bound to be slowly washed away by the tides of time - “Our hands our skin our everything, a shapeless strange shore, forevermore”
