To Ashes

Shadows Fall

Why, I've found perfection now it slips through my grasp

Child, you touch me now as life flows through my hands

gray skies have been broken (I'll never see the warmth of your eyes)

Cold eyes softly spoken (Your face forever etched in my mind)

Love, I'll get through this if you stand at my side

Alone, this fear across me it shall never subside

gray skies have been broken (I'll never see the warmth of your eyes)

Cold eyes softly spoken (Your face forever etched in my mind)

You speak to me in rhythm and it waves across the water

You speak to me in ways that I don't understand

deep inside I hear every word every way

And after all is lost there is nothing left inside of me

I long for your touch

How I need to breathe your breath again

Deep inside me I know I'm alone

how I cherish your persuasive warmth

This is not what I want life to be

(there is no way I can stop this now)

And there's nothing left inside of me

I long for your touch

How I need to breathe your breath again

Deep inside me I know I'm alone

how I cherish your persuasive warmth

This is not what I want life to be

(there is no way I can stop this now)

And there's nothing left inside of me

Why, I've found perfection now it slips through my grasp

Child, you touch me now as life flows through my hands

gray skies have been broken (I'll never see the warmth of your eyes)

Cold eyes softly spoken (Your face forever etched in my mind)

Love, I'll get through this if you stand at my side

Alone, this fear across me it shall never subside

gray skies have been broken (I'll never see the warmth of your eyes)

Cold eyes softly spoken (Your face forever etched in my mind)

Endlessly unfallen words I cannot replace

don't cry my love, I believe that I won't fail you again

But I long to be your servant once more

By the morning light I'll have breathed my last

I implore you, don't forget my love

Don't cry my love, I believe that I won't fail you again
