Time they call the universal healer But you're back every three days, settling all around me A feather duster's no substitute for the real thing And the dust you left behind is settling still With you dawn never tasted so good Swept up like debris on a Saturday night, did we ever have fun? The dust, the gentle legacy You left behind Is falling softly on my mind Dust, the timeless memory of you I love you, I do for all the little things you do And I guess I always will The dust settles again to remind me still Of a memories I've cherished so long Hold me close to your side 'Cause my love won't decay anymore Memories of hope of those long summer days And the dust you left behind is settling still With you dawn never tasted so good Swept up like debris on a Saturday night, did we ever have fun? And the dust, the gentle legacy, You left behind Is falling softly on my mind Dust, the timeless memory of you I love you, I do for all the little things you do And I guess I always will The dust settles again to remind me still Of a memories I've cherished so long Feeling your body stretched so long What was it, went so wrong? That our love, our love it was gone, oh it was gone But our friendship going strong, gone strong, so much strong, oh Going strong, going strong, oh Feeling your body stretched so long, stretched so long What was it, went so wrong, went wrong That our love, that our love it was gone, gone, gone, gone But our friendship going strong, gone strong Going strong, going strong, going strong

Different light Searching for the truth I find That I am running quite short of time And I am no longer certain of my destiny Different light Things that I once thought were right Are now reflected in a different light\ And it seemed that I overlooked a part of me I had overlooked a part of me I was escaping my reality Different light Searching for the truth I find Is that what I thought was peace of mind? It was only me escaping my reality I had overlooked a part of me I was escaping my reality I had questioned my philosophy So that I can see the truth in me Searching for the truth I found out what I thought would be Peace of mind Things that should've stayed the same Are prone to change Now I've seen a little light I had overlooked a part of me I was escaping my reality I have questioned my philosophy So that I could see the truth in me Different Light I had overlooked a part of me I was escaping my reality And I have questioned my philosophy So that I could see the truth in me

Think about it There must be a higher love Down in the heart and in the stars above Without it Life is wasted time Look inside your heart, I'll look inside of mine Things look so bad everywhere In this world, what's fair? We walk blind and we try to see Falling behind in what could be Bring me a higher love Bring me a higher love Bring me a higher love Where's this higher love I've been thinking of? World's a-turnin' We're just hanging on Facing our fears standing out there alone Oh we're yearning, and it's real for me There must be someone who's feeling for me Things look so bad everywhere In this world, what's fair? We walk blind and we try to see Falling behind in what could be Bring me a higher love Bring me a higher love Bring me a higher love Where's this higher love I've been thinking of? I will wait for it I'm not too late for it Until then, I'll sing my song To cheer the night along I can light the night up with my soul on fire I can make the sun shine from pure desire Let me feel the love come over me Let me feel how strong it can be Bring me a higher love Bring me a higher love Bring me a higher love I could rise above for this higher love
