Rust Lyrics

Breathtaking scene, sunset on the sea

Oil on canvas, or so it seemed to be

Just a glance, but oh those brilliant hues

Shining golds, and oh those shimmering blues

A whole palette of reds and yellows

It was enough to make a rainbow jealous

Everyone knows sunsets are beautiful

Everyone knows

But then a second glance, my eyes had lied

It wasn't a sunset scene that I spied

But a photo of a pipe that was rusting

Blinked my eyes, the eyes I'd been trusting

Gazed again at those brilliant hues

Those shining golds and those shimmering blues

Is this decay, or is this design

Bursting colors, radiant lines

Breathtaking rust

Breathtaking rust

Who ever knew that rust could be beautiful

Who ever knew that rust could be beautiful

Who ever knew that rust could be beautiful

My darling, take my weary hand

Come be my old woman, I'll be your old man

We'll sit in our garden of colorful flowers

Tired now, we'll sit there for hours

To the side we'll see in the window

A reflection of you and me and our shadow

Hair is grey and tinged with gold

Smiles are warm and true and old

Breathe deeply, Love

Breathe deeply of love

Who ever knew that rust could be beautiful

Who ever knew that rust could be beautiful

Who ever knew that rust could be beautiful

My darling, let's set out to sea

The sun, it is setting for you and for me

Our boat is tired, there's rust on the hull

And its puttering pace is passed by the gulls

But we'll make our way and gaze at the water

And see all the golds that God has to offer

And if we look down when the water is still

We'll see that reflection

The one from the garden

Breathe deeply, Love

Breathe deeply, my love

Who ever knew that rust could be beautiful

Who ever knew that rust could be beautiful

Who ever knew that rust could be beautiful
