lyrics

Well you can't see the stars
for the light on the street
and you can't go to bed
for the noise or the heat
your walking the floor
and the sound of your feet
is the dusty guitar waltz

(Chorus)
So take your partner down to your knee
and tug at her heartstrings tenderly
She'll whisper a song, a sweet melody
in the dusty guitar waltz

The lights are all low
but you know that she's there
It's hard not to notice
the silence you share
is it love or regret
that keeps you aware
of the dusty guitar waltz
(chorus)

I'm sorry I left you
I promise to stay
I've been missing you so much
since I went away
She tries to believe him
she tries not to show
that his fingers betray him
much more than he knows

This dusty guitar
has been silent so long
that you fear if you play her
the notes will be wrong
You're forgetting that there
is always a song
in the dusty guitar waltz
(chorus)

"With a folky voice of clarity that reminds one of early Emmylou Harris, Troxel navigates the waters of love lost and found with songs that offer memorable lines, but no easy answers." - Bill Mallonee
