Lyrics

I climb up here to this top shelf
This mirror image of myself
That tells of everything I used to be
It's covered in cobwebs and random trails
Where my wand'ring finger left a tale
Of a lingered journey into memory
Here I find a well-worn book
It's pages asleep in a leather nook
Whose covers hide away my hopes and fears
Here there is a picture frame
As empty as children without names
It's glass a window from which no faces peer
What does one do with such dusty things
Like inside jokes and buried dreams
Whose aged faces point into the past
Looking for answers to questions I never asked
What does one do with such dusty things
Here I see a barren vase
Whose former tenants time effaced
But whose fragrance lingers round it still
A piece of lace, a birthday note
The long letters I never wrote
Empty moments begging to be filled
I handle each with gentle care
As one who combs a baby's hair
Knowing how much each one means to me
And though they're part of yesterday
A dream that's come and gone away
I guess it's made me who I'm meant to be
What does one do with such dusty things
Like inside jokes and buried dreams
Whose aged faces point into the past
Looking for answers to questions I never asked
I have brought this cloth along
To clean the dust of others' wrongs
Until these trinkets shine and smile like new
Giving credit in the place it's due
Yes I think that is what I'm gonna do
With these dusty things
