More Haste, Less Speed - Ash and Dust

You probably think I'm doing fine
But I got your letter late last night
Threw it away 'cause I just couldn't
Take that right now

The last we talked you spoke your mind
Cleared the air
Or at least we tried
To make things open, but now
It has all gone wrong

'Cause I am a statue, standing alone
In the middle of this field
Surrounded by gravestones
And you are a fire, burning through the grass
Try to turn it off
But you can't change the past

So when we pass on quiet streets
Broken sidewalk beneath our feet
Know that I won't wave unless you say hello to me
And when I build my own estate
There's not one room for you to stay
I'll bury you the day your spirit leaves

'Cause I am a statue, standing alone
In the middle of this field
Surrounded by gravestones
And you are a fire, burning through the grass
Try to turn it off
But you can't change the past

If we turn to ash and dust
Broke-down cars erode to rust
Will you still be waiting just to see the sun again?
And when it rises, red and bright
Tell me you'll still be alright
When the night is cold, and
I'm not there to keep you warm
