Lyrics

ASHES IN THE CLOSET

DON'T YOU PAY ANY ATTENTION TO
WHEN I'M GONE
DON'T YOU SHED ANY TEARS( NOW)
AS LEAST FOR NOT LONG
YES I HAD A GOOD LIFE
JUST IN CASE YOUR WONDERING

WON'T YOU PUT MY ASHES IN THE CLOSET
WHEN YOU LEAVE

IN MY LIFE I DID NOT SET
THE WORLD ON FIRE
BUT THE LIFE THAT I HAD
WASN'T ALL THAT DIRE
DOING ANY THINKING ABOUT ME
WON'T CHANGE A THING

WON'T YOU PUT MY ASHES IN THE CLOSET
WHEN YOU LEAVE

I MAY NOT OF TREATED EVERYBODY
WITH THE SAME REGUARD
EVERY LIFE THAT'S WORTH LIVIN'
CAN SOMETIMES BE HARD
PEOPLE MIGHT OF TALKED ABOUT ME
THAT'S BOUND TO HAPPEN ALL THE TIME

BUT NOW MY TROUBLES ARE OVER
JUST PUT MY ASHES ON THAT SHELF

YOU KNOW THAT IT'S A SMALL WOLRD
NEVER SAW MUCH OF IT
SOME OF US NEVER FIND
A PLACE TO FIT
AND WHEN LIFE IS OVER
WE ALL FACE ETERNITY

WON'T YOU PUT MY ASHES IN THE CLOSET
WHEN YOU LEAVE

nice and pleasant - clean, clear, timing is good, keep up the good work! luv the gravel

Pleasant voice. Live recording. I like the percussion. Lot of energy. Good hook. Probably great lyrics. My fathers generation wouldn't know what you're talking about.

I like the rawness, the attitude. The rhythm section rocks.

Reminds me of Van Morrison

LOVE those vocals! You have a unique voice and this is a great way to should it off. Rockin tune and catchy lyrics make this a good candidate for so many different opportunities.
