Ashes

Ooooooooo

On that evening

No later than nine

You called out for me

And heard no reply

You found me under the willow tree

Cut me down and tried to catch me

But I fell into the river deep

Ain't nothing more to do

But just let things be

I know you want to scatter my ashes

I know you want to scatter them far and wide

Don't scatter my ashes

I want to walk by the seaside

My lonely body washed ashore

Red ring around my leg shows I can't take it no more

Don't ask no one my soul to keep

Ain't nothing more to do but just let things be

I know you want to scatter my ashes

I know you want to scatter them far and wide

Don't scatter my ashes

I want to walk by the seaside

And you might cover me with

Sand and empty rocks

That might mean if you must

She won't wake up words

That come to rest for you are still breathing

You might get second thoughts

And want to throw me to the sky

That's okay people you're wrong

Say 'cause you know what's left of me

Is already gone

Is already gone

It's already gone

I know you want to scatter my ashes

I know you want to scatter them far and wite

Don't scatter my ashes

I want to walk by the seaside

Ooooooooo
