Ash and Amber Sunrise (version 2)

Verse

Fire pit smoke curls round my knees

Embers climb where the smoke used to be

Ash on my ankles, grey turns gold

Same flame my mother's mother made

Night shift into a soft blue hush

Speakers cool but my chest won't rush

Sparks still jump from the dying coal

Straight through my skin to my soul

Pre-Chorus

Feel it catch behind my eyes

Feel it climb before the rise

Every ember knows the ones before it

Never really dies

Chorus

Ash and amber sunrise

Ash and amber sunrise

Fire in my body never dies

Ash and amber sunrise

Verse

Rooftop edge and the sky turns rust

Feet still warm from the concrete dust

Hands that danced through the whole black night

Open now to the morning light

Circle breaks but the heat stays true

Passed from her hands into mine, into you

Every dawn is the fire's door

We just walk through it, we ask for more

Pre-Chorus

Feel it catch behind my eyes

Feel it climb before the rise

Every ember knows the ones before it

Never really dies

Chorus

Ash and amber sunrise

Ash and amber sunrise

Fire in my body never dies

Ash and amber sunrise

Bridge

Not a burning, it's a keeping

Not an ending, it's a seed

Every grandmother left an ember

Underneath my need

Chorus

Ash and amber sunrise

Ash and amber sunrise

Fire in my body never dies

Ash and amber sunrise
