My Ashes

[Verse 1] All the things that I needed I wasted my chances I have found myself wanting When a mother and father gave me their problems I accepted them all Nothing ever expected I was rejected But I came back for more [Chorus] And my ashes drift beneath the silver sky Where a boy rides on a bike but never smiles And my ashes fall on all the things we said On a box of photographs under the bed The bed [Verse 2] I will stay in my own world Under the covers I will feel safe inside A kiss that will burn me And cure me of dreaming I was always returning [Chorus] And my ashes find a way beyond the fog And return to save the child that I forgot And my ashes fade among the things unseen And a dream plays in reverse on piano keys And my ashes drop upon a park in Wales Never ending clouds of rain and distant sails Distant sails [Outro] Sails Sails
