Текст James McMurtry – Dusty Pages

So get that hurt look off your face
No need to be alarmed
I was only trying not to lose my place
I didn’t mean no harm

Chorus:
Would you be my friend through the ages
Watch the decades drifting by
And read to me from dusty pages
All the echoes of our lives

You’d fold the napkins, sitting on the stairs
Through the afternoon
I’d sit there watching till you’d stack the chairs
From across the room

I kept your letters in my life
Kept them safe and sound
And I read back through them once in a while
When there’s no one else around

Chorus
