Lyrics
Barefoot In The Ashes
They’ve woken up and come downstairs
And remembered you’re not there
See it dawning in their eyes
Keeps replaying in my mind
A wooden table amongst the dirt
Memories taste sweet until they hurt
Walking barefoot in the ashes, in the presence of love
Walking barefoot in the ashes, in the presence of love
Walking barefoot in the ashes, in the presence of love
Walking barefoot in the ashes, in the presence of love
And in pictures I see a familiar smile
Under the guise of moonlight you visit a while
And if everybody said your name at once
Would it travel on the wind amongst the gulls
I don’t want to be reminded, I don’t want to be told
Maybe I’m selfish, maybe I’m a fool
My brother says I’m not strong enough
To swim alone when the water’s rough
Walking barefoot in the ashes, in the presence of love
Repeat x 6
Walking barefoot in the ashes, in the presence of…
