Ashes

You never sat alone

And thought about your own

Holding fistfuls of the ashes of the lady you once were

Your shelves are empty now

Your heart is overblown

And the streets you used to blame are now ashamed of you

The night is where you're from

At least you thought so

As the darkness's now approaching and your lips are wet enough

The drink is not too strong

Your taste is never wrong

Though the barman didn't save a single drop of rum

You're far away from home

Staring at no one

Waiting long for a better income

Your time is never gone

You'll always be the one

And never will you have to expose your bone

It's not that you pretend

To be someone you can't

Just promise in the end you'll be back home

A little more to share

A stranger to tear

And your ready to go

The books you read

Inside your head

Are the fuel you claim to feel alive

They dry your tears

Along, within

And then burn down to the ashes of past

Hunting thoughts of a heartless soul

Never leave, never let you go

Brought no warmth and won't bring no cold

Pass you by and retain your glow
