Peter Himmelman - Salt And Ashes lyrics

My room's a mess The rain is falling Falling down, falling down It's twenty past one and Not a soul is calling I'm falling down, falling down Salt and ashes On my floor Salt and ashes Is that what I traded you for It's been a half a year Since I last saw you Seems so long seems so long Now you're like frost I could never thaw you Seems so long, baby seems so long Salt and ashes On my bed Salt and ashes Covering my head I said I'd try But desire raped me It seemed so real, seemed so real And the reasons why Well they escape me They seemed so real, semed so real Salt and ashes Are all I see Salt and ashes Raining down on me I'd sweep them all away But I guess they soothe me They take me down, take me down They're poison sweet But they don't fool me They take me down, take me down Salt and ashes Barren as my heart Salt and ashes Since we've been apart Since we've been apart sweet darling
