Gatherin' gatherin' my love's gatherin' dust

My poor heart is fallin' apart it's gatherin' dust



You never should put my love upon the shelf

But you were thinkin' of no one but your own sweet self

Well you've been up there havin' a ball and laughin' ut up

I've been sittin' at home alone gatherin' dust



Gatherin' gatherin' my love's gatherin' dust

Pickin' up bits and pieces of hurt and draggin' my heart around in the dirt

Worryin' wonderin' if you're gonna give me the brush

My poor heart is fallin' apart it's gatherin' dust

[ trumpet - steel ]

I figured out I've had my fill of waitin' around

Now I'm gonna find these shoes of mine some solid ground

You've taken my love for you for granted long enough

I'm through sittin' at home alone gatherin' dust

Gatherin' gatherin'...

My poor heart is fallin' apart it's gatherin' dust
