ASHES ON THE WIND

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I walked alone beneath the northern sky, With frozen roads and nowhere left to hide. The years I lost were buried in the snow, But every scar still tells me where to go. I heard your voice inside the winter rain, A distant echo calling out my name. And though the night had taken all I knew, I found a little piece of me in you. [Pre-Chorus] So let the cold wind carry me away, I'll leave behind the things I couldn't save. [Chorus] Like ashes on the wind, we disappear, But something of us always lingers here. And when the darkness settles on the land, I'll find my way back home, I'll understand. No matter how the years may pass us by, I'll keep your memory beneath the sky. If all we had was lost before the end, I'll meet you where the ashes touch the wind. [Verse 2] The old trees bend beneath the weight of snow, Their roots remember everything below. I used to fear the silence of the night, Until I learned that darkness hides the light. The road ahead is colder than before, But I don't feel the fear I felt before. I've carried every wound along the way, And somehow they have taught me how to stay. [Pre-Chorus] So let the cold wind carry me away, I'll leave behind the things I couldn't save. [Chorus] Like ashes on the wind, we disappear, But something of us always lingers here. And when the darkness settles on the land, I'll find my way back home, I'll understand. No matter how the years may pass us by, I'll keep your memory beneath the sky. If all we had was lost before the end, I'll meet you where the ashes touch the wind. [Bridge] Maybe we're not meant to stay, Maybe we're just passing through. But every step I took away Still somehow led me back to you. [Final Chorus] Like ashes on the wind, we disappear, But something of us always lingers here. And when the darkness settles on the land, I'll find my way back home, I'll understand. No matter how the years may pass us by, I'll keep your memory beneath the sky. If all we had was lost before the end, I'll meet you where the ashes touch the wind.
