Beneath The Damage And The Dust Lyrics - Singles - Peter Himmelman

Her eyes are sweet and dark as coal 

But they've long since given up on finding someone to trust 

She has a silver plated soul 

Beneath the damage and the dust 

They say, she's never known a single hour of stillness 

And they say, she's as dangerous as a child that can inspire lust 

And you know that people's minds are so full of illness 

They never look beneath the damage and the dust 

I want to lift her up 

(Beneath the damage and the dust) 

I got to pick her up 

I want to raise her up from the dust 

I got to lift her up 

(Beneath the damage and the dust) 

(C'mon here, child) 

Well she's walking downtown on a foggy summer evening 

Everybody watches with a blend of wonder and disgust 

(Well I) 

I want so bad to stop her grieving 

To raise her from beneath the damage and the dust 

I want to lift her up 

(Beneath the damage and the dust) 

I got to pick her up 

I want to raise her up from the dust 

I got to pick her up 

(Beneath the damage and the dust) 

(Oh yeah, pick it up) 

To think that she was once some mother's baby 

(And she got) 

Left out in the rain like some dream that's gone to rust 

Well they say that loneliness can drive you crazy 

And bury you beneath the damage and the dust 

I got to pick her up 

(Beneath the damage and the dust) 

I want to lift her up 

I got to raise her up from the dust 

I got to pick her up 

(Beneath the damage and the dust) 

(Oh, pick it up) 

I got to lift her up 

(Beneath the damage and the dust) 

I want to pick her up 

I want to raise her up from the dust 

I got to pick her up 

(Beneath the damage and the dust) 

And you've got to help me 

(Damage and the dust) 

(Damage and the dust) 

(Damage and the dust)
