From the recording A Heart So Rare
Lyrics
There’s a rattle in my brain that won’t let me rest
There’s a rumble in my heart that won’t let me forget
I thought I was through with this time that I’ve served
But we make our own choices to forget what we’ve learned
Your face it appears more than once in a while
I hold on to the dream and thought of your smile
You’re a shadow dancing on my bedroom wall.
A ghost in the night, you’re there and you’re gone
Ashes to ashes… dust to dust
Sometimes it feels like it’s all just too much
But when something is lost (they say) something is gained
Finding my way, on this planet of pain
I hear the music, I hear guitars
Don’t know who’s singing, but I sure know the song
Talks about someone who looks just like you
Talks about a dream, that didn’t quite come true
Ashes to ashes… dust to dust
Sometimes it feels like it’s all just too much
When something is lost (they say) something is gained
Still finding my way on this planet of pain
Up from the ashes, up from the dirt
The Phoenix bird rises, away from the earth
As I cling to her wings, not fearing the fall
But I’ve got to remember, not to look down at all
Ashes to ashes… dust to dust
Sometimes it feels like it’s all just too much
But when something is lost (I now) something is gained
Still finding my way on this planet of pain
Finding my way on this planet of pain
