The first track off Lindi Ortega’s highly anticipated “Faded Gloryville, "Ashes” presents a smoldering, slow-burn song that perfectly encapsulates heartbreak, combined with the crash that follows disappointment after the high of falling in love.
“Ashes” was also one of the songs performed by Ortega...
[Verse 1]
You came to set my heart on fire
Then you just left it to burn
These cold dark ashes
These cold dark ashes
I yearned, I yearn, I yearn
[Verse 2]
You showed me all this beautiful magic
You disappeared in the smoke
Of these cold dark ashes
These cold dark ashes
I guess I should have known
[Chorus]
I don't wanna daydream, I don't wanna wish for you
I don't wanna find out that none of what you said was true
Darling this is madness, Why don't you come back to me?
Don't leave me in the ashes of your memory
[Verse 3]
You came to set my heart on fire
What was I supposed to do?
These cold dark ashes
These cold dark ashes
Linger in the dust of you
[Verse 4]
I wonder if it all meant nothin'
I wonder if I've been a fool
These cold dark ashes
These cold dark ashes
Just the work of your voodoo
[Chorus]
I don't wanna daydream, I don't wanna wish for you
I don't wanna find out that none of what you said was true
Darling this is madness, Why don't you come back to me?
Don't leave me in the ashes of your memory
[Chorus]
I don't wanna daydream, I don't wanna wish for you
I don't wanna find out that none of what you said was true
Darling this is madness, Why don't you come back to me?
Don't leave me in the ashes of your memory
Don't leave me in the ashes of your memory
Don't leave me in the ashes of your memory
