Blue Bag of Ashes

I stir my drink a long time I watch the teaspoon go cold on my napkin I wonder off in my mind We used to drive up to Morvern in Scotland She used to say the light looked brand new In that northern sky I used to see the world Through those light brown eyes If it's over tell me now Or turn me around, don't let me walk away Calm me down and say we'll be okay Or if it's over tell me now If it's over tell me now Out the water by five A woman stops me with a blue bag of ashes She asks me when is low tide If there's a bad time for judging the wind wrong: She's in the carpark now with ashes In her hair and clothes A million and one ways of letting go I suppose If it's over tell me now Or turn me around, don't let me walk away Calm me down and say we'll be okay Or if it's over tell me now If it's over tell me now
