Ashes and Water
(Chip Greene)
So much for the other side
And so much for this bet
I’m sorry doesn’t cut it now
In this river of regret
A burning bridge won’t help you now
As you drown in self defense
When you struck the match and turned away
It was not at my expense
Ashes, ashes now we all fall down
You took your chances and now you can’t turn around
You can say that you won’t remember
Tell yourself it’s out of your mind
But when you’re trying to find me
Ashes and water is all you will find
Ashes and water is what you will find
So much that you couldn’t face
That you could not forget
Just pretend it never was
And I’ll forgive your debt
Ashes, ashes now we all fall down
The truth’s a fire even you cannot put out
You can say that it doesn’t matter
And you can try to leave it behind
But when you’re trying to find me
Ashes and water is all you will find
Ashes and water is what you will find
Ashes, ashes now we all fall down
The truth’s a fire even you cannot put out
You can say that you won’t remember
Tell yourself it’s out of your mind
But when you’re trying to find me
Ashes and water is all you will find
Ashes and water is what you will find
