Blaze of Ashes - Audrey Horne

«Hang on, I’ll be back by Monday», you said.

It’s been days now,

still not a sign from you

So I wait here in the dark while sharpening knives, counting hours and crows to

pass the time

Waiting as the days are turning to years, I’ve been hanging out for so long,

out in these desert hills

And I sit alone here, I’m so tired of needing a ride, I’ve been wasting years

now, and I hope you’re feeling proud

Down you go in a blaze of ashes and all I know is that you have been lying

through your teeth

There’s always someone there who can take your place, all you are is just a

little bit too easy

And down you go in a blaze of dirt.

«Hang on, I’ll be back by Monday», you said.

It’s been years now

Still not a sign from you I’ve got miles left to go and I’m not in the mood for

this walk, so I’m counting hours and crows 'til I get home
