Dusty Suitcase

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Orange coat, torn shorts White shirt stained with dust He grips that little suitcase Like it’s all he’s got Down the village road Past the crooked wood Clouds hang heavy over him And he won’t look back [Pre-Chorus] Behind him, footsteps Soft at first, then fast A pink dress running Through the gravel blast She cries his name Her paws reach out But he keeps walking Like he’s fading out [Chorus] Don’t leave me now Don’t leave me now Little brother, stay Don’t leave me now Don’t leave me now Don’t leave me now I’m still right here Don’t leave me now [Verse 2] The suitcase swings low With every lonely step He looks so small With that hopeless chest She’s almost touching The hem of his shirt Tears on her whiskers Falling in the dirt [Pre-Chorus] He hears her crying But his eyes stay dry Rust on the fence posts Under that gray sky She says, “Please, please” He hears it break The road gets longer With each mistake [Chorus] Don’t leave me now Don’t leave me now Little brother, stay Don’t leave me now Don’t leave me now Don’t leave me now I’m still right here Don’t leave me now [Bridge] If you turn around I’ll run to you Through every puddle Through the dust and blue But he keeps moving Past the wooden door And her small crying Hits the village floor [Final Chorus] Don’t leave me now Don’t leave me now Little brother, stay Don’t leave me now Don’t leave me now Don’t leave me now I’m still right here Don’t leave me now Don’t leave me now Don’t leave me now Please don’t go so far Don’t leave me now
