Rose Mourn - City of Ash

#postpunk #darkwave #coldwave #gothmusic #newmusic Lyrics: The city waits in silence With its windows open wide I walk home through the cold lights With your name still on my mind You left before the morning With your coat against the rain I found your note beside the mirror But I didn’t read your name The hallway smelled like winter And the elevator cried I kept my hands inside my pockets Just to keep them from your side There were headlights on the ceiling There were footsteps on the floor I was trying not to follow What I couldn’t hold anymore And I don’t know where the night goes When it fades behind the glass Maybe love is just a shadow Learning how to pass In the city of ash We were burning too slow Two hearts in the dark With nowhere left to go In the city of ash You were almost mine I still see your face In every broken light Oh, we fall Oh, we fade Oh, we call But nothing stays There were flowers in the kitchen Turning quiet in the vase I kept waiting for a reason In the shape of your face You said we were only tired I said tired people stay Then you looked at me like leaving Was the kindest thing to say Now the room is full of weather And the walls are closing in I still hear you in the doorway Like a song beneath my skin And I don’t know why I miss you When the truth was always clear Some people leave the body But they never leave the ear In the city of ash We were burning too slow Two hearts in the dark With nowhere left to go In the city of ash You were almost mine I still see your face In every broken light Don’t come back with sorry Don’t come back with rain I have learned your silence I have worn your pain Don’t come back at midnight Don’t stand outside my door I have loved you enough To not love you anymore But if the lights go out And the streets forget my name I will think of you once Then I’ll walk away In the city of ash We were burning too slow Two hearts in the dark With nowhere left to go In the city of ash You were almost mine I still see your face In every broken light In the city of ash We were young, we were blind I kept your shadow But I gave back your time The city waits in silence With its windows open wide I walk home through the cold lights And leave your name behind
