Ashes (single version) by Jordan Seal

I swept the last of the soft grey ash, I swept it in a vase
And set it on the dresser beside the empty frame
One night when I’d been drinking, I poured it in the drain
But before I ran the water, I felt you flickering
In the remains
The shape of your lips, the pain of a wish
Rose up like flames
// But sunlight on a picture makes the picture fade
// Every time I remember, a little bit disintegrates
// Until only the ash remains

My fingers grasped for every last grain that I could save
And I poured them on the table
And ran my fingers through their warm embrace
The shape of your lips, the pain of a wish
For one more day
// But sunlight on a picture makes the picture fade
// Every time I remember, a little bit disintegrates
// Until only the ash remains

The more I touch you, the more I crave
But there are barely embers where I swear, there used to be a blaze

// 'Cos sunlight on a picture makes the picture fade
// Every time I remember, a little bit disintegrates
// Until only the ash remains
