Scattered Ashes (Song for Richard)

Drunk in the morning sun I could be talking to you dear or anyone This is my hiding place I'd found a focus You were a light on the shadow of a darkened path Its an empty world now you are gone Tell me what it's all about Shed tears for God's rejected Cut the cord, rewind the ending Take my life back to the start Pick up the pieces of my heart Let it be over Smoke another cigarette Draw into the cavern of my failing Lungs with heightened senses Scattered ashes All that's left of a lifetime that we had planned I am here and you are not Tell me what it's all about Cruel Gods of intervention Cut the cord, rewind the ending Take my life back to the start Pick up the pieces of my heart Let it be over Scattered ashes Someday we might find a way back to each other But for now
