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
