Ashes in the Wind Lyrics

There's a chair by the window that still holds my shape

A crack in the floor where the water escapes

I leave no footprints, I cast no shade

I'm just a name the wind mislays

The hands of the clock keep turning slow

But I don't hear them anymore

Oh, love, don't cry for me

I was never meant to stay

Like ashes in the wind

I was always meant to fade

There's a road where the headlights stretch too long

Where the sky turns quiet before the dawn

I walked it once, I'll walk it again

But this time I won't turn back to them

The hands of the clock keep turning slow

But I don't feel them anymore

Oh, love, don't cry for me

I was never meant to stay

Like ashes in the wind

I was always meant to fade

Tell the river I gave it my name

Tell the moon I remember its face

Tell the hands that once held me tight

I only left 'cause I knew they'd be alright

Oh, love, don't cry for me

I was never meant to stay

Like ashes in the wind

I was always meant to fade

And now I do
