seeds in the ashes

from everything that blooms wrecks me by Dao Strom

/

lyrics

darling i hope the sun that
shines on you will shine
on me too
cuz this never-ending winter
has got me believing our
hearts are meant to stay blue
there’s a way that the road
bends, it’s a lot like the days
the one i’m waiting for always
seems to slip further away

the sun that makes shadows
on the walls also makes
patches of light
i been biding my time for so
long counting stars through
the darkest nights
there’s a way that the heart
bends, it’s a lot like a wave
the wind that blows it ashore
also changes its shape

the stars are burning
they’re dying across the sky
still it takes a million years or
more for a light to truly die

well darling i hope the road
you travel gives as gentle as
snow
& that the green grass will grow
underneath each stone your
footsteps turn
cuz there are seeds in the ashes
of our lonely desert fire
& i’ll find my way back to you if
it takes me a lifetime of desire
