Ashes Of Summer

There lies a river
 somewhere along the line
 its water's flowing
 dividing city and sky
 It sang a love song
 the way the sirens sing
 out on the sea
 what did I hear?
 Another promise
 a star to give some light
 and I was aching
 to hear a redemptive word
 If there is a fire
 please don't let it go out
 Don't let me go
 don't let it go
 don't let it slip away
 You were a body
 just like a sea aflame
 a surge of wet salt
 the drops I drank from your skin
 There ran the river
 dividing everything
 What do we know
 what have we found
 what do we own
 Along the line...
 All out of luck
 walking the ruins of my yesterdays
 I'm chasing down a road to nowhere
 I'm going nowhere
 All out of love
 there is this poverty inside of me
 a stranger in the light of morning
 All out of life
 there is this empty place beside me
 and roads and rivers winding in a circle
 All out of luck
 all out of everything worth fighting for
 now my heart is drying in the sun
 My voice is sore now
 from swallowing a dream
 my body's weak now
 from feasting on our fears
 This is the river
 still running so deep
 Carrying you
 carrying me
 carrying us downstream
 Along the line...
 All out of luck
 walking the ruins of my yesterdays
 I'm chasing down a road to nowhere
 All out of love
 there is this poverty inside of me
 a stranger in the light of morning
 All out of life
 there is this empty place beside me
 and roads and rivers winding in a circle
 All out of luck
 all out of everything worth fighting for
 now our hearts are drying in the sun
 In the shelter of a heartbeat
 in the sultry heat of august, stars fell down
