Breathing in the soot and smoke and Ashes on the water can't get you back Look back to the side you came from You'd really better like it where you're at The end of a new beginning Beginning to think about the way things were No regrets You just can't help wondering Now you're wandering through the ashes, so black Ashes on the water, so black It'll take a miracle to get you back Sifting through the soot and sand and Ashes on the water washed up on the shore Burn your hand on a glowing ember That's what you get for coming back for more Or less in the same position The same situation with a different view Regret sets in, you need to get back Now you're wading through the ashes, so black Ashes on the water, so black It'll take a miracle to get you back And as you're wading through The ashes stick to you And they burn your skin That's what you get for diving in You make it back to shore Can't fight it any more And as you fade to black You feel the ashes on the water so black Lapping at your ankles, at your back It took a miracle to get you back… Coming to, your vision's blurry Wipe the soot and sand away and grimace at your burns Gather strength, you rise to your feet You always knew that you would get your turn Your back on the crumbling rubble The ashes on the water from the bridge you burned Your hand closes 'round a book of matches If you need to you can keep them far back Ashes on the water, so black It took a miracle to get you back

Cary's Here 02:38
It's 5 o'clock in the morning Sunday, my day off The sun's still down but you are up You start to babble and then you cough And your eyes must be open now Because you start to cry My bare feet make the floorboards creak As I get up to find out why It's all right now, Daddy's here. I dim the lights Before I turn them on And I say, "Shhh, it's okay" Your eyes light up when they meet mine And a smile crinkles your face Then my heart starts swelling up Until I think it's going to burst The sight of your face makes it skip 12 beats Missing you is the worst But it's all right now, Cary's here. And I never knew that I could never know... Now it's Monday morning And I'm going to work You're still sleeping when I leave I don't get to kiss you, 'cause I don't want to wake you We'll let your Mommy get some sleep Though I know why I'm leaving now It's still not easy to do But when I come back home The first thing I see is you And it's all right now, Cary's here.

False Start 03:15
I studied all my books And I thought I knew what to be It seemed so easy It seemed so easy But the second I got my chance I fell flat on my face I got out of the race I got out of the race It seemed to me like the only thing to do I thought I heard the gun And so I started to run But got called for a false start And now I'm back at the gate But it's getting late And I'm afraid of the dark And I would try to run, but I planted my feet in the ground Bring me the mortar And I'll go grab my trowel We'll build a wall We'll build a wall Count off a hundred yards And, again the race is on Hit the wall head-on Hit it head-on Well, it seemed to me like the only thing to do I thought I heard the gun And so I started to run But got called for a false start As a penalty They put nails through my feet And then one through my heart And I would try to run, but I just keep falling down I studied all my books And I thought I knew what to be But it's not for me It's not for me I think of all the things I've done And everything I've said I can't get out of my head Get it out of my head I guess that I'm the only one to blame I thought I heard the gun And so I started to run But got called for a false start I took the gun from my head And I aimed it, instead At the wall I built in the dark And it didn't come down, but at least now I know where to go

1. My feelings grew and multiplied But I'm not sure I'm justified It's not as if I've really tried To earn it So now I shake and shudder Maybe she will find another Who will help her to discover What she's needed CHORUS: But then I come to my senses And she helps me remember Things have never been better And to think... That I thought I knew All the things I could do The things you could do with love 2. So now my heart is sinking What if she has done some thinking And her thoughts now find her linking To another? She'd try another on for size And leave me lying paralyzed All alone and terrified I need her (CHORUS) Bridge: It all comes flooding back to me A cursed flash of memory And all my paranoia comes back in a rush To put my troubled mind to rest I just lean back and take deep breaths I can't help but to make this junk up 3. And as I sit here pondering She could be out there wandering I know I might be squandering My last chance Could I give her what she's needing Or now am I just a feeting game Until she goes off speeding To another?

I looked at myself, with my own eyes And said, "You'd better do something" I took my life in my own hands, and felt its weight And then I threw it as far as I could Feel my hot breath on my neck And I put that all aside I got shook down When I looked around I found I'd lost my life And I had to get it back, but didn't know where to start looking So I wandered aimlessly, saw some old friends But they didn't know me So, I broke down Sat on the ground And I heard something snap Then, I got up and, sure enough It was broken But I got it back I got it back And now I watch it twice as hard, in doing that I think I'm losing What I've been dedicated to, and cannot lose Because I'll never find it Again I'm lost And I know this time I'll never get it back It was held too tight With all my might And now it's more than cracked But I got it back

Open up my guitar case In the polished wood, I can see my face Over and over and over and over I’ve seen the same thing It’s not pretty Time has left its mark on me Look a little closer, you can see Over and over and over and over I’ve been worn down It’s not pretty But my friends have picked me up When I have fallen down And I’ll do my best to return the favor My friends have picked me up When I have fallen down Don’t worry about me I’ll be fine Sunday night I drift to sleep Has it really been another week? Over and over and over and over I’ve seen the time go It’s not pretty But the weeks turn into months and years And each hour I have to face my fears Over and over and over and over I’ve been terrified It’s not pretty But my friends have picked me up When I have fallen down And I’ll do my best to return the favor My friends have picked me up When I have fallen down Don’t worry about me I’ll be fine ©2004 Todd Leiter-Weintraub
