Ashes in Winter Light - Elysian Fields

It's true

My life has been full of regrets baby

For me

It's been the only way it could be

Maybe

Remember the night I broke your favorite chair

Perfectly

We threw the pieces into the fire

It was January

And watched the fire burn through the night

Then woke to ash in winter light

And I'd drag you off to bed

Sleepyhead

As the sounds of the school yard

Drifted through our dreams

It's strange going back there

Every one's gone

It's natural

People move out

People pass on

Like my mom

We slept in her hospital room every night

Together

And when she couldn't talk anymore

We sang to her

And when you're all alone pretty baby

I'll meet you in the deep

'Til you're fast asleep

And when the cities burning little baby

I'll climb to your window

And carry you away

It's true

My life has been full of regrets baby

Sometimes I wonder if you'd take it all back

Never

You're still the only one I can talk to

What you gonna do

You've gotta journey around the bend

To make it start again

Make it start again

Make it start again

Make it start again

Make it start ag
