Ashes of a Day Gone By Songtext
von Oliver the Crow

I still see the May snow in the sky
Like it was yesterday
From early dawn to peaceful night
I tunneled in the snow and ice
Hold on though I′d often try
The ashes of a day gone by
Would always slip away


I was sure I'd met my bride
And that she′d always stay
Temptation's never been so sly
I left that angel there to cry
No matter how I changed my mind
The ashes of a day gone by
Would always slip away

So when your sense of foolish pride
Clings to yesterday
While you're stumbling through the night
It′s crystal clear in morning light
The day you want is out of sight
Though you search with all your might
The day you want is out of sight
The ashes of a day gone by
Would always slip away
