Ashes On Your Eyes - Deb Talan

Just about the time your heart breaks like a wheel

Not in a straight line, but all in pieces

Some you’ll leave behind on a road you won’t revise

No, you won’t revisit that dirty compromise

Now you only dream in peaceful blue

The morning doesn’t even scare you anymore

You are a phoenix with your feathers still a little wet

Baby, the ashes just look pretty on your eyes

So look up, up ahead

The city lights are dancing for you

Or is it the aurora burning off the edges of the sky?

Don’t cry, don’t cry

That’s all over now

Dry your wings in the sun

You have only begun to understand

When it’s time to move on

There is no one to hold your hand

So let go

Here the night is fine, the stars are sparks of steel

Chiseled in the mines of twilight

You tell me something real, say

«Don't try, don’t try.

Just remember how.»
