Ash & Amber Skin (Version 2)

Verse

Brazier glowing by the fence line

Smoke curls where my mother stood

Coal cracks open, sparks like heartbeat

Warm ash settling soft as it should

Pre-Chorus

Heat climbs up through my shoulders

Something older wakes in my chest

Embers hum where the drum is calling

Skin remembers, skin knows best

Chorus

Ash and amber skin

Ash and amber skin

Fire that they left me

Burning deep within

Ash and amber skin

Verse

Corner yard, the coal drum turning

Sparks lift up past the tin roof line

Uncle's shadow dancing longer

Amber light on amber skin

Pre-Chorus

Heat climbs up through my shoulders

Something older wakes in my chest

Embers hum where the drum is calling

Skin remembers, skin knows best

Chorus

Ash and amber skin

Ash and amber skin

Fire that they left me

Burning deep within

Ash and amber skin

Bridge

Smoke don't fade, it just settles

On my collarbone, my hands

Every fire that ever held us

Still holds me where I stand

Still holds me where I stand

Chorus

Ash and amber skin

Ash and amber skin

Fire that they left me

Burning deep within

Ash and amber skin
