Your seven worlds collide

Whenever I am by your side

Dust from a distant sun
G A D G D G
Will shower over everyone
You're still so young to travel so far
Old enough to know who you are
Wise enough to carry the scars
Without any blame, there's no-one to blame
It's easy to forget what you learnt
Waiting for the thrill to return
Feeling your desire burn
And drawn to the flame
<Chorus>
Dust from a distant sun

Will shower over everyone

And I'm lying on the table washed out in the flood
