Ashes

(앨범: Homeland Insecurity - 2019)

My heart was beating like a bully on the smallest in our class
Chasing you 'round the playground through the sandbox and the grass
I'm still haunted by your memory and echo of your laugh
You took my hand and showed me how to see

Ashes, ashes all fall down
I was lost, but now I'm found
Merry, merry we go 'round
And ashes, ashes all fall down, hey

Highlight reels from our wonder years play reruns in my mind
Turn behind my eyelids, they help to pass the time
You've always been a beauty, babe, but nothing can compare
Seeing you standing there with flowers in your hair
Dance barefoot beneath the stars to a Neil Young tune
Fireworks flamed down from a July moon
And we sang baby

Ashes, ashes all fall down
I was lost, but now I'm found
Merry, merry we go 'round
It's ashes, ashes all fall down, hey

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
All these years, I still hear your whispering in the wind
Calling me to come back here to where it all began
I hope somewhere from the other side
You're free from all the pain
I wipe a tear with a wrinkled hand
And sing one last refrain

Ashes, ashes
(Ashes, ashes)
Ashes, ashes
(Ashes, ashes)
Ashes, ashes
(Ashes, ashes)
Oh, ashes, ashes
(Ashes, ashes)
Ashes, ashes
They all fall down
