[Verse 1] Saw you by the fence in ash-gray rain Skateboard scuffed, hands full of chain You laughed like you knew my name And I forgot my whole day Your shirt had a burn-mark seam Your eyes were a dangerous green You stepped right out of my dream Then you made me believe [Pre-Chorus] Don’t ask me why I lean so close You pull the smoke I lose control Every little bruise Turns soft in your glow I try to leave But you already know [Chorus] Ash is my ebony love Ash is my ebony love You turn that hurt to a touch And I can’t get enough Ash is my ebony love Ash is my ebony love When the whole room fades above It’s you I’m thinking of [Verse 2] You bit the edge of your lip Said, “Boy, don’t make this a trip” But I kept following the drift Of your quicksilver shift Black jeans torn at the knee Gold ring cold as can be You got a wild hold on me Like a lock and a key [Pre-Chorus] Don’t ask me why I come back more You leave the door I beg for more Every little spark Falls right through my hands I know your game Still I understand [Chorus] Ash is my ebony love Ash is my ebony love You turn that hurt to a touch And I can’t get enough Ash is my ebony love Ash is my ebony love When the whole room fades above It’s you I’m thinking of [Bridge] Say my name slow Like you mean it now Let the old skin go Let it fall down If I’m gonna burn Let me burn for you If I’m gonna learn Let it be true [Final Chorus] Ash is my ebony love Ash is my ebony love You turn that hurt to a touch And I can’t get enough Ash is my ebony love Ash is my ebony love When the whole room fades above It’s you I’m thinking of Ash is my ebony love (ash is my ebony love) Ash is my ebony love (ash is my ebony love)
