Ashes You Leave

Your face, the furnace of my soul

The endless lies that we told

Clear blue waters in which we bathed

The yesterdays we failed to save

Still I see how we cannot be

Ashes you leave as you ascend from me

The leaves that fell unto our graves

And with the love that we made

The tree that filled my eyes

Tomorrow's yesterdays in stone engraved

Still I see, we cannot be

Ashes you leave as you ascend from me

Ooh, the black you gave me, the love you gave me

The anti-fears of pain

Our love's my shelter, I try to fill up clouds of dust

It was a lie, snow in those eyes

I tasted that wine too much

And now I sit beside our graves

And hold her hand in there

Weep for mountain skies shrouded in misty air

Weep for thy solemn death and for thy chill despair

Ashes you leave as you ascend from me (ooh)

As shadows pass in the misty night

Over though, on and moving fast in air

Ashes to life

Into darkness, into night

Into darkness and into night
