Rachel Brooke - Ashes to Ashes lyrics

I hold in my hand, an echo of voice brought on the wings of a bird Like a ruby filled vase, and a basket with lace The most beautiful sound you have heard My body, it aches of a far memory of someone I might have known And there's a hole in the wall too small to see through But I'm sure it's a picture of home Sometimes I'm standing on a mountaintop. I'm nowhere but I'm not lost But sometimes I'm just hanging with a heart that's just breaking My arms outstretched on a cross But something keeps pulling, a lost letter of love In a cabin where a fire used to be There's a woman who's calling, with a voice of fair warning Her crooked hand points only at me Ashes to Ashes, mothers turn to ashes Daughter soon follows in d**h But before leaving earth, a daughter gives birth; a gift to me and she says “You hold in your hand an echo of voice, brought on the wings of a bird And like a bird who only sings for what every morning brings, the most beautiful sound I have heard”
