i wipe away the ashes on my tux
and walk around
walk around these lakes
making my way slowly to your door
when the soft winds blow again
just like they used to do before
remember me in silence
in silence touch the velvet edges
of the blades that you once knew
when the cold men whisper
can you stand up on your feet
or like me do you fall
fall upon your knees
in sheer reverence for the pain
when day after day goes by
i lose my mind
the hot ash flows into the town
flows into the town of our childhood
and i waltz
