Ash on Ash 2 (Version 2)

Verse

Snow still falling through the darkened frame

Last candle's burning down to a small flame

Bones in the cold ground, half-buried deep

Ash and ice mixing, nothing left to keep

Your voice is gone but your words stay true

I'm holding what you gave me, that's all I do

Pre-Chorus

Can I find my way through this frozen air

Carry on what you started when the dark was there?

Chorus

Ash on ash and nothing breaks

Light in the ice for my own sake

Hold the fire where yours went out

I won't let it fade, no doubt

Verse

Ravens watch from black branches high

The wind is moving but I don't ask why

Your handprint's still in the frost-sealed glass

I'm searching for a heartbeat that will last

Every snowflake falling on this place

Brings you closer though you're not here to stay

Pre-Chorus

Can I find my way through this frozen air

Carry on what you started when the dark was there?

Chorus

Ash on ash and nothing breaks

Light in the ice for my own sake

Hold the fire where yours went out

I won't let it fade, no doubt

Bridge

Maybe light is just a burning ember now

Not gone yet because I still feel you somehow

The mountain's vast but what's left of you

Is right here in this ash that won't turn to goo

Chorus

Ash on ash and nothing breaks

Light in the ice for my own sake

Hold the fire where yours went out

I won't let it fade, no doubt
