Peter Gabriel - White Ashes Lyrics

Peter Gabriel Lyrics

"White Ashes"

Mamma's little boy has fallen down
Mamma's little boy has hit the ground
Now he's gone, Ian is gone
His time is done
The weight of a dream
Can take you down

White, white ashes, building crashes down

So well, pretend it's all well conceived
Build solid as steel, stuff we believe
Now he's gone. Ian is gone
His time is done

The weight of a dream
Can bring you down
The weight of a dream
Can bring you down

White, white ashes, building crashes down
White, white ashes, building crashes down

Mamma's little boy, doing good
Mamma's little boy did all he could
Now he's gone, Ian is gone, time is done
The weight of a dream
Can bring you down
The weight of a dream
Can bring you down

White, white ashes, building crashes down
White
