Ashes Lyrics
Ashes to ashes
and dust to dust
that's what has become
of our love and trust
Love has no direction
cause love has no aim
love can leave you
as fast as she came
Meeting is such sweet sorrow
cause someday we may have to part
hush don't you make a sound
you're gonna let me down
Good things come
to those who wait
but good things are gone
from those who are late
All that I am
is all I can give
but with or without you
my life I must live
Meeting is such sweet sorrow
cause someday we may have to part
hush don't you make a sound
you're gonna let me down
Living ain't easy
since you've been gone
no one else can please me
or make me feel home
Forgetting ain't easy
you stay on my mind
thoughts of us haunt me
can't leave them behind
and dust to dust
that's what has become
of our love and trust
cause love has no aim
love can leave you
as fast as she came
cause someday we may have to part
hush don't you make a sound
you're gonna let me down
to those who wait
but good things are gone
from those who are late
is all I can give
but with or without you
my life I must live
cause someday we may have to part
hush don't you make a sound
you're gonna let me down
since you've been gone
no one else can please me
or make me feel home
you stay on my mind
thoughts of us haunt me
can't leave them behind

this song features allison krauss who sings lightly in the background.. their voices together are fucking amazing.
the lyrics are absolutely beautiful too... one of my favorite songs.
"Meeting is such sweet sorrow cause someday we may have to part"
I love how he took a well known proverb, and switched it around, and still makes sense. It's so true.
This song is sweet, even though its sad. The vocals are lovely. lOve YOU Benny.
ive put this song on repeat for the last hour
this is the sort of song that can touch your soul, i cant stop listening to it. i love the way he leaves out the last line of the chorus, it takes your breath away. awesome xxxxxxxx
Best duo huh? Allison Krauss sings "new favourite"- if you like this song you'll probablly like that one too. The words to ashes absoloutly REEK with sorrow- i love it, a beautiful song to just sit back and think about all your sorrows
