Ash On Linen

AI generated Music & Art. Lyrics: [Verse 1] I fold your letter twice Till the edges turn soft It smells like old rain And the drawer it slept in Your cup still on the sill A ring in the wood I touch the handle once Then I let it go [Pre-Chorus] The house holds its breath When the wind comes low I hear your name In the window glass And I stand there still With my hands in my sleeves Like a girl waiting out A season of bad news [Chorus] Ash on linen, ash on linen I keep your shade in my room Ash on linen, ash on linen Still warm when the night falls through (ash on linen) I burn, I bend, I keep the ruin And I call it by your tune [Verse 2] The garden went wild With the fence half gone One red apple split In the wet brown grass I took the long way back Past the butcher’s wall Past the shop with the cracked blue sign And the dog that knew my steps [Pre-Chorus] The house holds its breath When the wind comes low I hear your name In the window glass And I stand there still With my hands in my sleeves Like a girl waiting out A season of bad news [Chorus] Ash on linen, ash on linen I keep your shade in my room Ash on linen, ash on linen Still warm when the night falls through (ash on linen) I burn, I bend, I keep the ruin And I call it by your tune [Bridge] If I loved you wrong Then I loved you true With the salt on my tongue And the bruise of June Let the cembalo ring Like a thin white bone I can carry this ache But I can’t call it home [Final Chorus] Ash on linen, ash on linen I keep your shade in my room Ash on linen, ash on linen Still warm when the night falls through (ash on linen) I burn, I bend, I keep the ruin And I call it by your tune
