[Verse 1] I wake where the river ends Bare feet on the cold stone Your name in the basin Like smoke on my tongue Salt on the altar And a candle bent low I came with my questions Now I move like a prayer [Pre-Chorus] Hold me under Hold me near I can hear the quiet Turning into gold Hold me under Hold me near Every broken answer Turns to something holy [Chorus] Ashes in water Wash me clean Ashes in water Set me free Ashes in water I still believe Ashes in water Come back to me [Verse 2] The moon in the doorway Cuts silver on my skin I follow the feathered sound Where the shadows breathe in Your voice in the dark grass Soft as a vow I lost what I carried But I’m lighter now [Pre-Chorus] Hold me under Hold me near I can hear the quiet Turning into gold Hold me under Hold me near Every broken answer Turns to something holy [Chorus] Ashes in water Wash me clean Ashes in water Set me free Ashes in water I still believe Ashes in water Come back to me [Bridge] If I am the ruin Then you are the dawn If I am the old fear Let it move on One breath One vow One pale hand Pulling me out [Final Chorus] Ashes in water Wash me clean Ashes in water Set me free Ashes in water I still believe Ashes in water Come back to me Ashes in water Name my wound Ashes in water Carry me through Ashes in water I still believe Ashes in water Come back to me
