Marianne Faithfull - Ashes In My Hand lyrics

It took a long time coming That big over the shoulder statement But when it came Taken in extreme despair Taken in extreme despair Taken in extreme despair Taken in extreme despair. Remember to write often In case you have something to tell me, But please don't mention the unexpected guest Staring into empty eyes Staring into empty eyes Staring into empty eyes Staring into empty eyes. A long lost confidence and pride Come ringing back, come ringing back To have the shadow back again And happiness that feels like pain. Then you left us To see if you could find it And when you came back It flowed easy as poison Taken in extreme despair Taken in extreme despair Taken in extreme despair Taken in extreme despair. A long lost confidence and pride Come ringing back, come ringing back To have the shadow back again And happiness that feels like pain And happiness that feels like pain And happiness that feels like pain. Happiness that feels like pain. Happiness that feels like pain.
