Ashes Lyrics

Here I sit

Waiting for you with a cold cup of coffee

And a burnt cigarette

That has fallen like ashes

Slowly from me

I search myself alone

Here I sit

Waiting for you with a suitcase packed

And an eight by ten

That reminds me of ashes

It's grey and faded

I search myself alone

[Chorus]

Cause there's always somebody

Who's out there waiting for someone to take them away

If I search long enough I might find that someone

Waiting to take me away:::..yeah but not today

Here I sit

Waiting for you the sun has gone down

On a perfect day

Oh I've waited for hours

Please send someone

I search myself alone

[Chorus]

[Lead break]

[Chorus x2]

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

great song and amazingly written about being left, pretty straight and clear message in the lyrics but still amazing nonetheless.
