Sandi Thom - Gold Dust Lyrics

His love was like gold dust
His desire took my lust
He sent shivers down my spine
His ghost echoes in my mind
The one heart I thought I could trust
His love was like Gold Dust

His love was my oxygen
He was my addiction
He played such a beautiful game
It used to drive me insane
The one heart it thought I could trust
His love was like Gold Dust

You don’t know what you feel as time moves on
You don’t know what you want until its lost and gone
I never realised that my heart could rust
Until love slipped through my fingertips like gold dust

Now his love won’t leave me alone
His words are on my tombstone
And tears won’t wash them away
I guess that’s the price you pay
To put faith in a heart you trust
His love was Gold Dust

You don’t know what you fear until you powerless
You don’t know what you want until your truly obsessed
I never realised that my heart could rust
Until love slipped through my fingertips like Gold Dust

His love was my final dance
With such innocent romance
The flowers will dry out with time
His ghost echoes in my mind
The one heart I thought I could trust
His love was like Gold Dust
The one heart I thought I could trust
His love was like Gold Dust
The one heart I thought I could trust
His love was like Gold Dust
