lyrics

I'm not sure what to say
just liked that dress you wore last Sunday
And I...couldn't see
But seems you felt just like
Your father said you would one day

And we fall with the ashes
But they're not to blame
And of all the matches
It was the one in the rain
And I'm ready to answer
But the call never came
Yeah we all turn to ashes
But they're not the same, no

Not sure how to pray
You'll change your mind, you said you'd
Always make way
For the winds on the brae
But I...couldn't wish
Away the sound of the organ that
Carries you down in your bridal gown

But if we fall with the ashes
Then we'll climb up the rain
And you're pouring our mattress
From the window pane
And I can't bear to answer
The call of the crane
Oh we all burn to ashes,
We all burn the same
