Ashes In My Hand Lyrics - Marianne Faithfull

It took a long time coming that big over the shoulder statement 

But when it came it flowed easy as poison 

Taken in extreme despair, taken in extreme despair 

Taken in extreme despair, taken in extreme despair 

Remember to write often in case you have something to tell 

But please don't mention the unexpected guest 

Staring into empty eyes, staring into empty eyes 

Staring into empty eyes, staring into empty eyes 

A long lost confidence and pride 

Come ringing back, come ringing back 

To have the shadow back again 

And happiness that feels like pain

And then you left us to see if you could find it 

And when you came back it flowed easy as poison 

Taken in extreme despair, taken in extreme despair 

Taken in extreme despair, taken in extreme despair 

A long lost confidence and pride 

Come ringing back, come ringing back 

To have the shadow back again 

And happiness that feels like pain
