To Ashes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Why, I've found perfection now it slips through my grasp
Child, you touch me now as life flows through my hands
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 2]
Love, I'll get through this if you stand at my side
Alone, this fear across me it shall never subside
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 3]
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
[Interlude]
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
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 1]
Why, I've found perfection now it slips through my grasp
Child, you touch me now as life flows through my hands
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 2]
Love, I'll get through this if you stand at my side
Alone, this fear across me it shall never subside
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Guitar solo]
[Outro]
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
