As the Ashes Blow

Note: this is meant to be sung, so it contains some ontemontepia, such as continued vowel sounds to denote rhythym.

When I look at you, I see the fire in your eyes

When we touch, I feel the chill of fear inside your mind


During the freezing night
I saw explosions in my mind
And those we left behind
I said:
No, no Never, never will it be--
 right.


But you said,
Oh just hold on now, darlin'
It's only a short, short while to go
Whoah-oh-oh-oooo

Just hold on now darlin'

It's only a short while
We have to go
Just look at me
and hold me close
Even as the ashes bloooow


whoah-oh-oh-o-oooh

As the ashes, ashes blow

Again and again, I held you close, and you whispered in my ear:

Just hold me tight, lie close to me in the dark of night
The burning never ends, explosions in our minds
Just stay with me always and never let go
For it's only a short short while to go--

When I cry, hold me close- listen to my tears
No one can hear-us-now
There's nothing to fear
Nothing to lose
Nothing to find
For me and you

Somehow
Spring has come again
The flowers bloom the earth is green
Yet our ashes blow

In the burn of the night
Roses prickle in my sight
You tell you:
Please just let it go
Let the ashes blow.

Let it be, there's nothing for you and me
But to let it go, let our ashes blow.


I tell you, the burning will go
I see now, we still have a long long while left
To go
So let the ashes blow

Spring has come again.
Let your ashes blow.
We'll plant flowers in the fields
Don't let the children hear
The tales of woe,
For them, we'll let our ashes blow.

For them, yeah, we'll let our ashes blow.
