Hands of ash

Feel the touch of your soft hands of ash
Calling me back from the dead
And thus my love I will give of my heart
I will rend it apart once again

I remember it was just yesterday
When our warm bodies lay in the field
And long shadows played upon our skin
As the sun crept into the trees

Now I wander through this place
I've forgotten how to pray
So I fill eternity from an empty yesterday

Your fragile fingers weigh upon my mind
As my thoughts unwind in the dark
I invoke the gentle trees as they fall
Loving breeze and the stroke of your leaves

Now I wander through this place
I've forgotten how to pray
So I fill eternity from an empty yesterday

I feel the touch of your soft hands of ash
Calling me back from the dead
In twilight forests we will rise and then
Reach up from the sand once again
