Salt And Ashes - Peter Himmelman

My room’s a mess

The rain is falling

Falling down, falling down

It’s twenty past one and

Not a soul is calling

I’m falling down, falling down

Salt and ashes

On my floor

Salt and ashes

Is that what I traded you for

It’s been a half a year

Since I last saw you

Seems so long seems so long

Now you’re like frost

I could never thaw you

Seems so long, baby seems so long

Salt and ashes

On my bed

Salt and ashes

Covering my head

I said I’d try

But desire raped me

It seemed so real, seemed so real

And the reasons why

Well they escape me

They seemed so real, semed so real

Salt and ashes

Are all I see

Salt and ashes

Raining down on me

I’d sweep them all away

But I guess they soothe me

They take me down, take me down

They’re poison sweet

But they don’t fool me

They take me down, take me down

Salt and ashes

Barren as my heart

Salt and ashes

Since we’ve been apart

Since we’ve been apart sweet darling
