Ashes to Ashes David Ashley Music

Comin' Down

I don't think I like the round about way
That's how Johnny thought before he say
Hear the voice crying for crying out loud
Hear it comin', the train's a comin' down
It's comin' down

Cinderella go dance in your shoes
Come around midnight you'll be singing the blues
Time's up ya'll look to the skys
See it comin', the train's a comin' down
It's comin' down

Hope in nothin' 'yes we can' he said
Silver tongue man follow him instead
Fools for heros soon enough you'll see
See it comin', the train's a comin' down
It's comin' down

I watched 'em gather crying their tears
To see their savior swallow their fears
Come tomorrow they'll know what they've done
I Hear it comin', the train's a comin' down
It's comin' down

Ashes To Ashes

If I could see I'd be paraylized
With just one glance it'd burn my eyes
In a cloud of smoke I'd be more more
To see the face that I adore

Rising from the page
I hear voices say

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Closer the day
I know who to trust
Flying away now
Heaven or bust
'Cause it's ashes to ashes
And dust to dust

I sit and wait patiently
And wonder what it's like to be
Not bound to mediocrity
To walk into where I am free

Far from this pain
I'm looking away

Free From Me

I don't know if I will be
Comin' round to see you
To put you back in my world again

It's been too long since I've been
All that interested
In what you're offering my soul

You're messing with my head now
I don't think I know how
To make it thought to see the light of day

It's taking me up
It's making me real
It's moving me in ways
I thought I could not be
It's making me see
I'm wanting to live
There's no more what if
I could be free, (I could be free)
Free from me

Release the chains that bind me
Love is always haunting
Can't curse this feeling anymore

The stress you're creating
You're forever hating
Now I hear the knocking on my door

You can't take me this time
I'm tasting the sweet wine
I'll make it through to see the light of day

The Other Side

Here I go again
Lost in the dust of a distant wind

And when I clear my eyes
I'll step again for another try

And I'll see you then
I'll see you when
On the other side

On the other side
Where the angels fly
And everybody's singing
La de die de die de die
On the other side

Here I go again
Lost in a stare at a distant light

And when I clear my eyes
Take my hand and I'll show you why

And I'll see you then
I'll see you when
On the other side

On the other side
Where the angels fly
And everybody's singing
La de die de die de die
On the other side

Finding You

Show, show me the scars,
mending the Wounds in my live
Count, counting the stars,
I wonder how dark is the night

These yesterdays are piled
High around me
I could regret
But why should I be

It's not for me to ask you why
It's not like I am

Running from the world behind me
Running with the chains that bind me
Finding me in what I've been through
Finding me
Finding you

Run, Running my way
Making the path I'm on again
Hear, hearing you say
The sum of me is who I am

These Yesterdays
Can't bother me no more
But here I am
Still wondering

This Heart of Mine

Like flowers on a grave
Like memories i save
A misty scent of time I spent
Taking back today

And I hope to find
This heart of mine

I came to wipe the tears
Of long forgotten years
But I can't put down what I have found
The things that brought me here.

And I hope to find
This heart of mine

It's hard to save a soul
It's hard to really know
When the damage made is not forgave
By the one who hurts the most

And I hope you find
This heart of mine

I'm not at all ashamed
Of what I am today
I've come to see inside of me
A hope, a prayer I say

I need you find
This heart of mine

Sun Rise

Don't think you're the only one
Who's lost a memory down this road

Don't think you're the only dreamer
Who woke up empty and stone cold

Life is not what makes this hard
I'm not going to sink this time
We'll find a way into the sun rise

I feel your pain sinking deeper
Into the pathways of your soul

I feel you breaking getting weaker
Like nothing else you've known

Life is not what makes this hard
You're not going down this time
We'll find a way into the sun rise

Oh take His hand
Embrace this love while you can
While you can

Miracle in Me

Now I wonder
How deep your love goes tonight
When I ponder
About the life I left behind

And there's still more that I could be
I wish my eyes could only see

What a miracle in me

It's not my dealing
Too many times I know I've tried
And now I'm healing
More of You You leave inside

I'm reminded constantly
I need your love; I need to see

I know I'm weak here
Tied up in these chains I made
And I should see clear
Forgetting all the things I hate

But all my past is blinding
The truth I know I need to see

Loving You

I see you
I see us
I see all I could believe in
I see me
I see why
I see how time took my dreaming

But this is now
And this how I keep myself loving you

In this hour
In this prayer
This is all that we can make it
This is ours
And I see why
It's for all those yesterday's forgotten tears

And so why
Does it seem so distant?
Why is my heart resistant?
Take all I am in spite of me
And make me see

That this is now
And this is why I keep myself loving you

I Am

I see the Only One here that
Takes all the shame on his shoulders

I hear the voice of the willing
Standing in for the lonely

I know the day is coming
When all the children will gather

Letting loose all their burdens
And none of this will matter

I Know this time
I server the Great Divine
I think you know i see
I know what i believe
I Am

I read the words of the living
Words of grace and giving

I feel the rain is bringing
The life that I've been missing

I know the hate i see here
Won't be in my tomorrow

When I fly through the gates of
No more pain and sorrow

Takes Time

Here I go again
Lost in the dust of a distant wind

And when I clear my eyes
I'll step again for another try

And I'll see you then
I'll see you when
On the other side

On the other side
Where the angels fly
And everybody's singing
La de die de die de die
On the other side

Here I go again
Lost in a stare at a distant light

And when I clear my eyes
Take my hand and I'll show you why

And I'll see you then
I'll see you when
On the other side

On the other side
Where the angels fly
And everybody's singing
La de die de die de die
On the other side
