White Ashes Lyrics

Album: Untrue

we were cast down from the clouds

we had so far to fall

waiting in this field of hours

so unfamiliar now

I can still remember

small white ashes to heaven

crack a smile if it makes you feel right

an escape if you want it

but save your prayers for yourself

save your prayers for someone else

stop this madness while you can

save your prayers for yourself

(Lead Break: “Wayfarer 515,”

R. Bruchert & M. Sugar)

sever every outstretched arm

unwelcome in my home

and if you dream of saving me

you might wake up alone

because I can still remember

small white ashes to heaven

crack a smile if it makes you feel right

an escape if you want it

save your prayers for someone else

stop this madness while you can

save your prayers for yourself
