Testo Ashes

My heart was beating like a bully on the smallest in our class
Chasing your around 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 around And ashes, ashes all fall down
(Hey)

Highlight reels from our wonder years play reruns in my mind
Right behind the eyelids, they help to pass the time
You’ve always been a beauty, babe
But nothing can compare
To seeing you standing there with flowers in your hair

Runs barefoot beneath the stars to a Neil Young tune
Fireworks flamed down from a July moon
And we sang

Ashes, ashes all fall down
I was lost, but now I’m found Merry, merry we go around
It’s ashes, ashes all fall down
(Hey)

(Ahhhh, ahhhh)

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 on the other side
You’re free from all the pain
I wipe away 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
(Ashes, ashes)
They all fall down
