about

this song was written by and about my first true love. he and i split after two months, but not before i captured the moment we shared in this song.

lyrics

love’s ashes

went back to town
his ghost still lives there
i am so sick of him
i wish my feelings would have died
long ago

i didn’t want to move on
but if you don’t move on
then you might as well not move at all

so i, drove by his place
nobody home
oh, look at me
lamenting loss
like it was a sacred rite

and i
stopped producing my love for him
gone
and gone out
i don’t know him anymore
gone
and gone out
he don’t know me anymore

tore up our love
in a jar of ashes
then i let it fly
from the outlook that keeps the mississippi blind

free, i am
free, i am finally free of him

not having the words
is like going deaf slowly
so i thought about it over a tall glass of milk
and i realized that there haven’t been any cookies for us
no chocolate chips
for our budding love

and i
stopped producing my love for him
gone
and gone out
i don’t know him anymore
gone
and gone out
he don’t know me anymore
