Ashes In The Wind Lyrics - David Gray

Ashes in the Wind 

i hold you close in my arms 

as we take our last stroll 

down the beach 

TOGETHER 

with seagulls screeching overhead 

and waves crashing 

and thrashing towards the shore 

my eyes well-up 

and tears stream down my face 

an overwhelming sense of sadness 

takes hold of me 

and as we climb the mountainous sands 

i think about the sound of your laughter 

i remember our first piggyback ride 

and the first time that we danced 

TOGETHER 

i wonder why the more i learn

the more i realize 

how much i don't know 

as we reach the top of the cliff 

i stand still 

mesmerized by the beauty 

of the deep blue sea 

and calmed by the peaceful 

breaking waves 

as i open your urn 

my hands shake 

with sadness and pain 

i remove your ashes from 

your temporary home 

and toss them into the wind 

Photos 

ashes in the wind 

ashes in the wind 

then i bury your urn 

in one of our favorite nooks 

deep in the sand on the cliff 

so that traces of you will forever be 

part of La Jolla Beach 

then i trudge back to the shore below 

ALL ALONE 

then i realize that your ashes 

are swirling all around me 

blowing in the wind 

then i feel joy in knowing 

that you are free 

from your earthly shell 

and that you will find me 

when my time comes 

until then 

i know that our love will last 

as we move from this life to the next 

and so i wait 

to see your face once again 

and when i do 

i will remember that 

TOGETHER 

our love is stronger 

than a waking giant 

and it will endure 

until the end of time 

ashes in the wind 

ashes in the wind
