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
