Ashes in the Wind by Elizabeth LaFavre Lyrics
Ashes in the Wind
Holding you close
In my arms
As I take my last stand
At the shore
Of our destiny
Standing at attention
Like the sandpipers
Who wait and watch
And wonder
at the gathering about to unfold
Seagulls crying
In the chatter
Wind lashing at my face
The voice of God readies
The script
And feels the weight
Of the matter
How to explain the tragedy
Of when the good die young
Eyes well-up
Can’t hold it together
Tears fall unresrained
I bite my lips
And turn my back
Hoping no one noticеs
The dismantling
The completе destruction
Of my armor
Which on any other day
Is my safe haven
and can be counted on
to shelter all the weather
Today I hate you
for all the lies you told
For the betrayal
The utter wickedness of the tale
Don’t ask me to grin and bear it
Or to understand
The greater purpose
Behind the scheme
When you failed
Miserably to intervene
Unforgivable
Unconscionable
In my eyes
I stand still
mesmerized by the beauty
of the deep blue sea
and calmed by the peaceful
breaking waves
as I open your urn
my hands tremble
with great sadness and pain
I take your ashes from
your temporary home
and toss them into the wind
Ashes in the Wind
Ashes in the Wind
Soon I realize that your ashes
Are swirling all around me
Blowing in the wind
Enveloping me with joy
You are finally “Falling Free”
from your earthly shell
and you will find me
when my time comes
until then
I know that our love will last
as we move from this
life to the next
and so I wait
to see your face once again
and when I do
I will remember that
TOGETHER
our love is stronger
than a raging giant
and that it will endure
until the end of time
Ashes in the Wind
Ashes in the Wind
Ashes in the Wind
Holding you close
In my arms
As I take my last stand
At the shore
Of our destiny
Standing at attention
Like the sandpipers
Who wait and watch
And wonder
at the gathering about to unfold
Seagulls crying
In the chatter
Wind lashing at my face
The voice of God readies
The script
And feels the weight
Of the matter
How to explain the tragedy
Of when the good die young
Eyes well-up
Can’t hold it together
Tears fall unresrained
I bite my lips
And turn my back
Hoping no one noticеs
The dismantling
The completе destruction
Of my armor
Which on any other day
Is my safe haven
and can be counted on
to shelter all the weather
Today I hate you
for all the lies you told
For the betrayal
The utter wickedness of the tale
Don’t ask me to grin and bear it
Or to understand

Ashes in the Wind
Ashes in the Wind
Ashes in the Wind
