[Verse 1] Your coat still hangs where the wind can find it Smells of pine and late October rain I’ve buried words I’ll never revisit Deep as roots beneath this clay again The river don’t ask where it’s been [Pre-Chorus] And if the wind calls your name from the trees I’ll answer soft, but not for me [Chorus] Ash and clover, both will grow One from fire, one from woe I forgive you, though I’ll never say so Ash and clover, both will grow [Verse 2] The old house hums with your memory steady Floorboards talk where we once prayed Time don't ask if you’re ready It just takes what it’s owed and fades And I’ve grown soft in your shade [Pre-Chorus] And if your heart ever wanders this way There’s a place it can stay [Chorus] Ash and clover, both will grow One from fire, one from woe I forgive you, though I’ll never say so Ash and clover, both will grow [Bridge] I’ve laid down the blame, it don’t fit right It don’t keep the cold from the night So I tend this ground, I let it lie And somewhere in that quiet, I survive [Final Chorus] Ash and clover, both will grow One from fire, one from woe I forgive you, though I’ll never say so Ash and clover, both will grow
