09 - Ashes on the Wind

[Intro — soft guitar and organ] Cold wind moving Through the town, Smoke from chimneys Drifting down. [Verse 1] Names in the paper Every day, Faces fading Far away. Train tracks humming Through the night, Carrying stories Out of sight. [Chorus] Ashes on the wind, Blowing through the years. Ashes on the wind, Carrying our tears. Every road remembers Where the storm has been, Leaving quiet traces Like ashes on the wind. [Verse 2] Letters written Home again, Words that tremble In the pen. Kitchen radios Playing low, Every mother Hoping so. [Chorus] Ashes on the wind, Blowing through the years. Ashes on the wind, Carrying our tears. Every road remembers Where the storm has been, Leaving quiet traces Like ashes on the wind. [Bridge — guitar solo] Through the silence And the pain, Every heart Calls out again. [Final Chorus] Ashes on the wind, Blowing through the years. Ashes on the wind, Carrying our tears. Every road remembers Where the storm has been, Leaving quiet traces Like ashes on the wind.
