ASHES IN THE WIND (SUE'S SONG)

G . . . . . . . . . . . . D . . . . . . . C . . . . . . . . G
Now that you're gone I will sing you this song,
Am . . . . . . . . . . . D . . . . . . . . . . . E
To thank you for all that you have been.
G . . . . . . . . . . D . . . . . . . . . C . . . . . . . . . . G
Times that we shared, all the things that we dared.
Am . . . . . . . . . D . . . . . . . . . E
All that's left is ashes in the wind.

Right at the start we were so far apart
As we glared into one another's eyes.
But now that it's done, I can feel the waning sun
Shining down from autumn's ember skies.

Daytime and night, we would run from the light,
Not daring to look too far ahead.
For we knew that we would find there could be no peace of mind,
In spite of all the words that had been said.

At last came the day when you went away.
I guess I always knew it had to be.
For love was just a word, a word we only heard.
No. it wasn't meant for the lonely ones like we.

Repeat First Verse

Feel free to perform this song in public, as long as you mention who wrote it. (A mention of the CD, Ancient Laughter, and the fact that it can purchased from www.cdbaby.com would be appreciated too.) If you want to record it, however, you will have to cross my palm with silver. My brother-in-law comes from Sicily.
