(Verse 1) It wasn’t a storm that took the paint off the door Just thirty-some years of the rain, nothing more A layer of dust and a layer of pride Slowly covering up everything we used to hide The wind didn’t howl, it just whispered the truth While time took the edges right off of our youth. (Verse 2) We’re smoothed out like river stones, rounded and gray From the weight of the water just washing away The things that used to matter, the things that used to sting Don't even leave a mark on a damn thing We’ve been rubbing together so long and so close That we’ve lost the parts of us we used to love most. (Chorus) It’s a worn thin love, see-through and pale Like a ghost in the rigging of a tattered old sail It ain't a break, it’s just a slow-motion slide Of the dirt and the memory and the river inside And there ain’t no archaeologist coming to see What’s buried under the ghost of you and me Yeah, it’s a worn thin love. (Verse 3) I look at your face and I see the map Of every canyon and every wide gap That opened up slowly while we weren't looking Between the laundry, the work, and the cooking Nothing's exploded, no one’s in tears We’re just the silt at the bottom of the years. (Bridge) You can’t find the start and you can’t find the end When the mountain’s been leveled by the hand of the wind We’re standing on top of a story untold Too tired to dig and too heavy to hold. (Final Chorus) Yeah, it’s a worn thin love, see-through and pale Like a ghost in the rigging of a tattered old sail It ain't a break, it’s just a slow-motion slide Of the dirt and the memory and the river inside And there ain’t no archaeologist coming to see What’s buried under the ghost of you and me Yeah, it’s a worn thin love. (Tag) Let the dust settle... Let the river run. (Song ends with the sound of a single, soft piano note held until it disappears into silence)
