ashes (midnight)

from Tribute Act 2: Headliners by the garages

original by INOM (@LambMower), cover by cwill (@cwillcwont). for Henry A., Mary G., and Bill D.

I thought I heard your laughter
drifting wild on the wind
When I turned around to find you
you were gone

I thought it would be us forever
Together against the world
But here I am standing alone
Where did you go? I'm cold

As the sun sets on the dream we shared
Memories are all I have left
And all our regrets, all we left unsaid
and ashes are all that remains
are ashes are all that remains

As I walked the halls you used to call home
the void you left aches
I read your words high in starry constellations:
Please, don't leave me behind

As the sun sets on the dream we shared
Memories are all I have left
And all our regrets, all we left unsaid
and ashes are all that remains
You got swept away on the storm
Only memories remain
Now my heart beats for both of us
and ashes are all that remains

As the sun sets on the dream we shared
memories are all I have left
And all our regrets, all we left unsaid
and names are all that remains
and names are all that remains
