Ashes And Dust

Ashes and dust and painful memories
What choice have I now but to trust what I barely believe
Cause the Giver has taken away
And He don’t ask you what you’d have to say
Now my faith runs as thin as the dying leaves on a grave
Now everyone is gone and I’m left to my sorrow and my grief
And the bottle I turn to don’t last long enough to bring any relief
Oh how I wish that you could’ve stayed
How many nights did I fall down and pray
But sometimes that just ain’t enough to bring any change

And time will move slowly on
Farther from when you were here in my arms
So if time has a way of forgetting then I’d rather not move on


God I miss you so bad
Wish I could hold you one last time
God I’m feeling so hollow
Like I’m missing everything inside of me
From my head to my feet and my heart and my soul

And time will move slowly on
Farther from when you were here in my arms
So if time has a way of forgetting then I’d rather not move on
