Lyrics
Rain’s coming down on a pile of ash
Left in a ring from last night’s burn
Washing away what got said
When the tables turned
I pull my coat closer
And brace against the wind
Brace against the next time
That I see you again
Ooh…
We walked together
but we moved alone
Eyes staring straight ahead
averting the wrong
And then you asked me
Why I don’t look at you the same
I could not answer
You know him by name
Ooh…
Flames burned low
Casting shadows across the sky
You knew the truth
By the absence of my lies
I whispered sorry, baby
But you turned away
Leaving me alone
To watch our fire fade away
Ooh…
Rain’s coming down on a pile of ash
Left in a ring from last night’s burn
Washing away what I lost
When the tables turned
