Soil and Ashes
Smoke rising off the ground
Black char all around
She feels just like this mountain side
Burnt down to the core
She can't breath anymore
Looking up at ashen sky
She spent the winter in love
With a boy from Irricana
They liked to walk up to Lake Moraine
But that boy was a toxic man
Who took her love and gave misery back
And he just disappeared one day
Left her dry, deadfall everywhere
This world is full of sparks
So pretty soon she was burning
In smoke she kept turning to the sky
Looking for the rain
She thinks there's nothing left
But sometimes the greenest grasses
Grow from soil and ashes
Fire lines in the dead of the night
She's made her share alright
She never thought she'd need her own
But when the wind was whipping up hell
She just kept telling herself
This fighting fires is what I know
She was dry, deadfall everywhere
This world is full of sparks
So pretty soon she was burning
In smoke she kept turning to the sky
Looking for the rain
She thinks there's nothing left
But sometimes the greenest grasses
Grow from soil and ashes
Hey, she'll catch her breath again
Hey, she'll catch her breath again
Yeah, she'll catch her breath again
She was dry, deadfall everywhere
This world is full of sparks
So pretty soon she was burning
In smoke she kept turning to the sky
Looking for the rain
She thinks there's nothing left
But sometimes the greenest grasses
Grow from soil and ashes
Black char all around
She feels just like this mountain side
Burnt down to the core
She can't breath anymore
Looking up at ashen sky
She spent the winter in love
With a boy from Irricana
They liked to walk up to Lake Moraine
But that boy was a toxic man
Who took her love and gave misery back
And he just disappeared one day
Left her dry, deadfall everywhere
This world is full of sparks
So pretty soon she was burning
In smoke she kept turning to the sky
Looking for the rain
She thinks there's nothing left
But sometimes the greenest grasses
Grow from soil and ashes
Fire lines in the dead of the night
She's made her share alright
She never thought she'd need her own
But when the wind was whipping up hell
She just kept telling herself
This fighting fires is what I know
She was dry, deadfall everywhere
This world is full of sparks
So pretty soon she was burning
In smoke she kept turning to the sky
Looking for the rain
She thinks there's nothing left
But sometimes the greenest grasses
Grow from soil and ashes
Hey, she'll catch her breath again
Hey, she'll catch her breath again
Yeah, she'll catch her breath again
She was dry, deadfall everywhere
This world is full of sparks
So pretty soon she was burning
In smoke she kept turning to the sky
Looking for the rain
She thinks there's nothing left
But sometimes the greenest grasses
Grow from soil and ashes
