Ashes On Your Eyes Lyrics by Deb Talan

A Bird Flies Out

2004

Just about the time your heart breaks like a wheel
Not in a straight line, but all in pieces
Some you'll leave behind on a road you won't revise
No, you won't revisit that dirty compromise
Now you only dream in peaceful blue
The morning doesn't even scare you anymore
You are a phoenix with your feathers still a little wet
Baby, the ashes just look pretty on your eyes
So look up, up ahead
The city lights are dancing for you
Or is it the aurora burning off the edges of the sky? Don't cry, don't cry
That's all over now
Dry your wings in the sun
You have only begun to understand
When it's time to move on
There is no one to hold your hand
So let go
Here the night is fine, the stars are sparks of steel
Chiseled in the mines of twilight
You tell me something real, say
"Don't try, don't try. Just remember how."
