Dresser Drawer Lyrics - Mountains Of Sorrow, Rivers Of Song - Amos Lee

The phone rings 

And I don't care who it is that is calling 

You moved our things from ours to his 

While outside the snow is falling 

The wedding band that meant so much 

Signified our blessed vow 

Like coffee spills and unpaid bills and all my pills 

It's in a dusty dresser drawer now 

I watched these trees from green to brown 

Suddenly this small town has gotten smaller 

The arctic breeze it sings to me, and says now look 

Any fool can go out and walk on water 

I shoulda known that time alone 

Would only serve to break you down 

Don't know why I sit and stare at that damn thing sitting there 

In a dusty dresser drawer now 

Snow has turned to water 

To please the trees 

And cheer up that late bloomer 

While I'm sipping on a beer counting down another year 

Couldn't come a second sooner 

I wonder how easily that ring it slid off of your finger 

Did you stop for a moment 

Let the memory of us linger 

Or was it just an afterthought 

Like casting water from a bow 

I'm past the point of crying 

For a love that lies there dying 

In a dusty dresser drawer now 

It's such a goddamn shame 

Right next to your picture frame 

In a dusty dresser drawer now 

If anybody asks me what I think, that love is for now, I'll tell them 

Look in a dusty dresser drawer now
