My heart was beating like a bully on the smallest in our class Chasing you 'round the playground through the sandbox and the grass I'm still haunted by your memory and echo of your laughs You took my hand and showed me how to see Ashes, ashes all fall down I was lost but now I'm found Merry, merry we go around And ashes, ashes all fall down, hey Highlight reels from our wonder years playing re-runs in my mind And behind the eyelids, they helped you pass the time You've always been a beauty, baby But nothing can compare To seeing you standing there with flowers in your hair Runs barefoot beneath the stars to a Neil Young tune Fireworks flamed down from a July moon And we sang baby Ashes, ashes all fall down I was lost but now I'm found Merry, merry we go around It's ashes, ashes all fall down, hey (Aaaaaaaaahhhhh) (Aaaaaaaaahhhhh) All these years I still hear your whispering in the wind Calling me to come back here to where it all began I hope somewhere from the other side, You're free from all the pain I wiped away a tear with a wrinkled hand And sing one last refrain Ashes, ashes (Ashes, ashes) Ashes, ashes (Ashes, ashes) Ashes, ashes (Ashes, ashes) Oh Ashes, ashes (Ashes, ashes) Ashes, ashes They all fall down
