Ashen Drum

[Verse 1]
Dust on the stones, I come
Barefoot on the old ground
Your name in the iron air
My heart makes one slow sound

The moon hangs like a wound
Over the black hills
I carry your silence
Like a blade in my ribs

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the night is listening
Oh, the night remembers
I call and call
But the dark stays tender

[Chorus]
Aye, my lost one, come back
Aye, my lost one, come back
I am here in the ash
I am here in the ash

Aye, my lost one, come back
Aye, my lost one, come back
Hear my voice in the sand
Hear my voice in the sand

[Verse 2]
The fire burned low and gone
Still I guard its ember
Your shadow crossed my skin
And woke the sleeping desert

I tied my grief in thread
Around my throat like prayer
Now every step I take
Breaks open your name there

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the night is listening
Oh, the night remembers
I call and call
But the dark stays tender

[Chorus]
Aye, my lost one, come back
Aye, my lost one, come back
I am here in the ash
I am here in the ash

Aye, my lost one, come back
Aye, my lost one, come back
Hear my voice in the sand
Hear my voice in the sand

[Bridge]
If you are wind, then strike me
If you are flame, then take me
I will stand in the ruin
Till the dawn comes to break me

[Final Chorus]
Aye, my lost one, come back
Aye, my lost one, come back
I am here in the ash
I am here in the ash

Aye, my lost one, come back
Aye, my lost one, come back
Hear my voice in the sand
Hear my voice in the sand
