The Ashes Just Look Pretty on Your Eyes

"Ashes on Your Eyes" - The Weepies (Deb Talan)

Just about the time
your heart breaks like a wheel
Not in a straight line,
but all in pieces
Some you'll leave behind
on a road you won't revise
No, you won't revisit that
dirty compromise.

Now you only dream in peaceful blue
The morning doesn't even scare you
anymore
You are a phoenix with your feathers
still a little wet
Baby,
the ashes just look pretty on your eyes.

So look up, up ahead
The city lights are dancing for you
Or is it the aurora burning
off the edges of the sky?
Don't cry, don't cry
That's all over now.

Now you only dream in peaceful blue
The morning doesn't even scare you
anymore
You are a phoenix with your feathers
still a little wet
Baby,
the ashes just look pretty on your eyes.

Dry your wings in the sun
You have only begun
to understand
When it's time to move on
there is no one
To hold your hand.
So let go,
let go,
let go.

Here the night is fine
The stars are sparks of steel
Chiseled in the mines of twilight
You tell me something real, say
"Don't try, don't try
Just remember how, remember, remember"

Now you only dream in peaceful blue
The morning doesn't even scare you
anymore
You are a phoenix with your feathers
still a little wet
Baby,
the ashes just look pretty on your eyes
pretty on your eyes
pretty on your eyes
