Текст песни
[Verse 1] I left my name in the rain On the bus stop glass You passed like you knew me Then you kept your mask The corner store blinked red Over chipped-up tile I bought a matchbook And a little more denial [Pre-Chorus] Now the room leans in When your shadow goes by I keep my mouth shut Let the blue hour lie [Chorus] Ash on my sleeve Ash on my sleeve You come and go You leave me still Ash on my sleeve Ash on my sleeve A thin black mark I can’t wash away [Verse 2] Your laugh from the alley Still scratches the air I stood by the railing Acting like I don’t care The train cut through town Like a dull silver knife I watched every window Hold a stranger’s life [Pre-Chorus] Now the room leans in When your shadow goes by I keep my mouth shut Let the blue hour lie [Chorus] Ash on my sleeve Ash on my sleeve You come and go You leave me still Ash on my sleeve Ash on my sleeve A thin black mark I can’t wash away [Bridge] Leave the light off Let the walls breathe slow My heart sits quiet Where the lost things go One more trace Then the night will fold Under my skin It stays cold [Chorus] Ash on my sleeve Ash on my sleeve You come and go You leave me still Ash on my sleeve Ash on my sleeve A thin black mark I can’t wash away
