about

The most-completely produced song on the album, and one of which I am most-proud. Seems like I am not the only one to think so, either, as it became the surprise single-by-default, gaining the most terrestrial airplay.

lyrics

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
