David Berkeley - All Those Ashes lyrics

Hold me river* Here's my bones Look at all those river stones Forming patterns on the shore Of the man I was before Clothes now dripping off the line Stubborn sun don't want to shine If I could turn it back don't know Don't know what I'd forego She's the girl with the crooked grin Thoughts all waiting to begin She's the one with the spools of thread Colors always in her head And I'm the boy in the chestnut trees I'm the boy still on his knees I'm the one in the crumpled clothes I'm the boy who comes and goes Oh no. Oh no. Oh no Oh momma I'm fine Don't worry all the time Don't worry all the time Oh that fire burned so fast Promises they couldn't last Pictures in those wooden frames Faces now don't look the same And all the lessons that we learned All of that too quickly burned In the river down below All those ashes floated slow Oh no. Oh no. Oh no Oh momma I'm fine Don't worry all the time Oh, I'm coming home Sweet river take me home Sweet river take me home Sweet river take me home Rock me river here I am Come on take me back again Rock me river, rock me slow Take me where I'm meant to go With all those ashes floating slow With all those ashes floating slow With all those ashes floating slow
