Ashes Lyrics - Rufus Wainwright

I'm no Rasputin, you ain't no Rapunzel 

I have willingly fallen, and you have cut your own hair 

Thought we needed motion, at least until the war kicks in 

I go out in the world with you the last night of the burning flare 

Trains will follow trains under the dun, under the moon 

And I do believe that all that I can do is croon 

And I do believe that there was a morning that 

I saw your true love burning next to me 

But now there's ashes, from exquisite eyelashes 

So far away, past the border, past the turnstile 

And even I know, and I do believe 

And I do believe that there was a morning 

I saw your true love burning next to me 

But now there's ashes, from exquisite eyelashes 

So far away, past the border, past the turnstile 

Sometimes I wonder if it is true humility 

For this humiliation
