Gatherin' gatherin' my love's gatherin' dust
My poor heart is fallin' apart it's gatherin' dust

You never should put my love upon the shelf
But you were thinkin' of no one but your own sweet self
Well you've been up there havin' a ball and laughin' ut up
I've been sittin' at home alone gatherin' dust

Gatherin' gatherin' my love's gatherin' dust
Pickin' up bits and pieces of hurt and draggin' my heart around in the dirt
Worryin' wonderin' if you're gonna give me the brush
My poor heart is fallin' apart it's gatherin' dust

[ trumpet - steel ]

I figured out I've had my fill of waitin' around
Now I'm gonna find these shoes of mine some solid ground
You've taken my love for you for granted long enough
I'm through sittin' at home alone gatherin' dust
Gatherin' gatherin'
My poor heart is fallin' apart it's gatherin' dust
