Among The Ashes (Old Road Disappearing)

So much to say and yet it’s all been said
So many roads I’ve yet to tread
Upon this land I lay my head to rest
Upon the wind my spirit roams
Away from home

I’ve told my share of tales a time or two
I’ve never seen the good Lord’s face
If there’s a Heaven then it must be true
That sinners make the best of saints
Beyond the blue

I’ve danced in courts of kings who’ve promised almost anything
I’ve slept among the ashes of this tainted world
By now I should know better days have never left their treasure
Along this old road disappearing
Into the new

An honest man is hard to find these days
In men of great wealth harder still
It seems the only debt they’re bound to pay
Is the one the devil deals
When’ere he feels

And if loving you is the best that I can do
I don’t think loving me should be so easy
It takes a strong woman to understand the man I am
But oh my love it isn’t you
A fond adieu

So much to say and yet it’s all been said
So many nights we never tried
I swear there’ll never be another one
To make me feel as though a fool
The way you do

I’ve danced in courts of kings who’ve promised almost anything
I’ve slept among the ashes of this tainted world
By now I should know better days have never left their treasure
Along this old road disappearing
Into the new.
