Story Behind The Song

My relationship with now ex-wife, who sings the female part on this recording. That's authentic, wouldn't you say?

Song Description

The dance that spirals down.

Lyrics

Ashes
Words & Music by Bent Myggen, BMI - copyright 1995

It?s the way we walk
it?s the way we talk
Pivot and spin
Until we just can?t win no more.

What I said, I said.
What I?ve done instead
How do we know
Where do we go
to come home?

I?ll take rain, hail or lightning
Over any day like this
Acts of God may be frightening
But nowhere lays the land
like the ashes from an angry woman?s hand.

It?s the way we try
To see eye to eye
All we can see
Reasons to disagree

What is right is right
so we stand and fight
Heaven above
help us fall back in love.

I?ll take rain... (chorus)

There just isn?t time,
there just isn?t time
Just isn?t time to be blind anymore
Honey the trees are falling
and they talk about the rain
And the men who won?t learn
if they burn everything
there?ll be nothing left to gain
There?ll be nothing left to gain.

It?s the way we walk
it?s the way we talk
Pivot and spin
until we just can?t win no more




To forgive and forget
can we learn it yet?
Show me the way
what can a blind man say?

I?ll take rain, hail or lightning... (chorus)
