Ashes on Your Eyes

Just about the time your heart breaks like a wheel

Not in a straight line, but all in pieces

Some you'll leave behind on a road you won't revise

No, you won't revisit that dirty compromise.

Now you only dream in peaceful blue

The morning doesn't even scare you anymore

You are a phoenix with your feathers still a little wet

Baby, the ashes just look pretty on your eyes.

So look up, up ahead

The city lights are dancing for you

Or is it the aurora burning of the edges of the sky?

Don't cry, don't cry

That's all over now.

Now you only dream in peaceful blue...

Dry your wings in the sun

You have only begun to understand

When it's time to move on there is no one

To hold your hand.

So let go, let go, let go.

Here the night is fine

The stars are sparks of steel

Chiseled in the mines of twilight

You tell me something real, say

"Don't try, don't try

Just remember how, remember, remember"

Now you only dream in peaceful blue...
