Dorian Dust

[Intro]
[Verse]
Cold wind in the pines
Walking the boundary lines
The wind tangles the wool
With a heavy, steady pull
Red dirt under my nails
Following the sheep trails
[Verse]
I bend to the clay
At the end of the day
A white ceramic light
Hidden from the night
Etched with stars unknown
Carved in frozen stone
[Hook]
Purple starts to bleed
Over every stone and seed
I never said goodbye
Underneath this high sky
Oh, grandmother of mine
Lost in the salt pine
[Verse]
I hold the dusty thread
Remembering what you said
The sky is just a map
Folded in your lap
But these stars do not match
The gate you used to latch
[Bridge]
The sheep begin to sleep
In shadows dark and deep
Your flannel keeps me warm
Safe from the coming storm
I feel you in the air
Brushing through my hair
[Hook]
Purple starts to bleed
Over every stone and seed
I never said goodbye
Underneath this high sky
Oh, grandmother of mine
Lost in the salt pine
[Verse]
The plateaus turn to gray
As the light slips away
I wear the locket now
Like a silent, sacred vow
The flock is heading home
Under the purple dome
[Hook]
Purple starts to bleed
Over every stone and seed
I never said goodbye
Underneath this high sky
Oh, grandmother of mine
Lost in the salt pine
[Outro]
