My Ashes
|
|
All the things that I needed
|
I wasted my chances
|
I have found myself wanting
|
When my mother and father
|
Gave me their problems
|
I accepted them all
|
Nothing ever expected
|
I was rejected
|
But I came back for more
|
|
And my ashes drift beneath the silver sky
|
Where a boy rides on a bike but never smiles
|
And my ashes fall on all the things we've said
|
On a box of photographs under the bed
|
|
I will stay in my own world
|
Under the covers
|
I will feel safe inside
|
The kiss that will burn me
|
And cure me of dreaming
|
I was always returning
|
|
And my ashes find a way beyond the fog
|
And return to save the child that I forgot
|
And my ashes fade among the things unseen
|
And a dream plays in reverse on piano keys
|
And my ashes drop upon a park in Wales
|
Never ending clouds of rain and distant sails... distant sails
|
