All Those Ashes

There's a river, here's my bones, look at all those river stones forming patterns on the shore, of the man I was before Clothes now dripping off the line, stubborn sun don't want to shine if I could turn it back don't know, I don't know what I'd forego oh no oh no She's the girl with the spools of thread, colors always in her head She's the one with the crooked grin, and thoughts all waiting to begin cnd I'm the boy in the chestnut trees, I'm the boy still on his knees I'm the one in the crumpled clothes , I'm the boy who comes and goes Oh no oh no Oh momma I'm fine, don't worry all the time. Oh that fire burned so fast, promises they couldn't last pictures in those wooden frames, faces now don't look the same cnd all the lessons that we learned, all of that too quickly burned In the river down below all those ashes floated slow cll those ashes floated slow oh no oh no oh momma I'm fine...sweet river take me home Rock me river here I am, come on take me back again, Rock me river, rock me slow, take me where I'm meant to go With all those ashes floating slow
