Ashes of a Life

Written by Scott DL
 

Pictures of the moon
framed in black and white
Gray is the color
matching my mood tonight

I need something that will last
Something that’s for real
Nothing I could buy
Never would you steal
Pieces of my heart scattered on the ground
Ashes of a life held onto like a crown

Promises were made
when everything was fresh and new
Tarnished over time
Do they still ring true?

I need something that will last
Something that’s for real
Nothing I could buy
Never would you steal
Pieces of my heart scattered on the ground
Ashes of a life held onto like a crown

Could it be there is something more for me?

Memories wash down
like rain against a window pane
Whirlpooling ‘round
trapped inside a kitchen drain

I need something that will last
Something that’s for real
Nothing I could buy
Never would you steal
Pieces of my heart scattered on the ground
Ashes of a life held onto like a crown

Could it be there is something more for me?
