lyrics

I’ve made a mountain out of men
And hope that I’ll get back again
He pulled my salts into the sea
And there was nothing left of me
But ashes

I had fun in summer sun
Golden days that kept us young
I could take you into fall
Or be a name that you recall

So cull the kites and string the stars
Let the light fall into darkness
Shadows long and fabric laid
Flying in a still parade
Of ashes

You walked in one summer’s night
You pulled the curtains from my sight
Don’t let me be your regret
Or just a name that you forget

Don’t ask
I’m so blessed
To look at you this way
I guess
That I wrote this song
Hoping you would say
I hope you’ll say

You’ll make a mountain out of me
Pull the salt out of the sea
If that’s far to much to ask
At least fresh water tears and ashes

Ashes ashes dust to dust
We could crash and burn and rust
If I stay collecting dust
Bury me in burning lust
And ashes, ashes

I’ve made a mountain out of you
In every corner of my room
Fallen kites and distant stars
Salt stained tears in beach glass jars
Ashes
