"To Ash" lyrics
Henry Jamison & Nico Muhly Lyrics
So I drove to Lakeside, parked my car and walked around
Looking for an answer, but I found nothing
To that ground of certainty that I have sought but seldom found
Still, I'd say the seeking must mean something
To ash, I am burning down
As the spring returns me to you
On my birthday, all the calla lilies are in bloom again
And they sing hymns of color like a congregation
All livin' large or livin' fast
All we seem to do's react
And move on and on and on from station to station
To ash, I am burning down
As the spring returns me to you
As the spring returns me
All livin' large, all livin' fast
All we seem to do's react
And move on and on and on from station to station
As the spring returns me to you
Looking for an answer, but I found nothing
To that ground of certainty that I have sought but seldom found
Still, I'd say the seeking must mean something
To ash, I am burning down
As the spring returns me to you
On my birthday, all the calla lilies are in bloom again
And they sing hymns of color like a congregation
All livin' large or livin' fast
All we seem to do's react
And move on and on and on from station to station
To ash, I am burning down
As the spring returns me to you
As the spring returns me
All livin' large, all livin' fast
All we seem to do's react
And move on and on and on from station to station
As the spring returns me to you
