Scattering The Ashes

(album: What The Dead Men Say - 2020)

Your face betrays your words
And those words gave way to hurt
The ground between us grows
Like wounds that never show

But the distance couldn't mend
Cause the time ran out instead
The ground between us grows
Like wounds that never show

Of father and son
Two lives now come undone
Of father and son
Too late, now all is gone

So tonight
I'm scattering the ashes
I'm scattering the ashes

Your face reveals your pain
Seconds lost, I take the blame
The cold light cuts the night
Your ashes come to life

What's left is in my hands
Will I ever understand
The cold light cuts the night
Your ashes come to life

Of father and son
Two lives now come undone
Of father and son
Too late, now all is gone

So tonight
I'm scattering the ashes
I'm scattering the ashes

What's lost
We'll never know
What's lost
We'll never know

Of father and son
Two lives now come undone
Of father and son
Too late, now all is gone

So tonight
I'm scattering the ashes
I'm scattering the ashes
I'm scattering the ashes
I'm scattering the ashes
